December 4, 2023, Iglesia de Santa Creu de Jutglar

The church of Santa Creu de Jutglar is located in the nucleus of the same number, part of the municipality of Olost, in the Catalan region of Lluçanès. It is a building with a single nave and a rectangular plan with an adjacent bell tower of a square plan. It is documented for the first time in the year 984, as a dependency of the church of Santa Maria d'Olost. The annual meeting of the Lluçanès Council of Jurors was held in this church, a council made up of representatives from all the parishes that were part of the Lluçanès Subvegería.

Bridge about 25 meters long with a solid central pillar and two eyes. It measures almost 2 meters wide and is delimited by low railings. There are traces of stone wear due to the continuous passage of carriages. The bridge was the Gavarresa pass on the old road to go from Sant Martí de Albars to Perafita. Old royal road that came from Vic and the ash road, along which they transported the ash from the charcoal kilns that were made in the municipality in the Vic tanneries.

Olost is a beautiful town that can be recognized from afar by the two bell towers of the Santa Maria church. Olost is a beautiful town, located in a small valley cut by the stream of Olost, with small shops that can be recognized from afar by the two bell towers of the church of Santa Maria. According to the legend, a couple promised a new bell tower if the virgin gave them a child; and they had a twin! It is a large nucleus, in relation to those surrounding it in the Lluçanès area, which already extended from the Sant Adjutori mountain range to the Olost stream already in modern times (17th and 18th centuries). The nerve center of Olost is Plaça Major, where the parish church and the town house are located. From this point the core is structured, both old and now. Among the streets built over the course of the 17th and 18th centuries, to the west of Plaça Major, you can count Carrer Berga, one of the longest in the town, Carrer Gelada, Carrer Nou and Carrer de Sant Adjutori, located in the ridge It also has the Raval del d'Olost, with preserved houses in Raval del Mig and Raval de Baix streets. In these older streets you can see houses framed with stone masonry walls that retain dated lintels indicating construction dates of the 17th and 18th centuries. We recommend going up to the viewpoint of Sant Adjutori, where there is the hermitage and hill from where you can observe beautiful panoramic views of the town and the mountains on the horizon that enclose the Lluçanès plateau: from the agricultural and forest landscape from Lluçanès to Montserrat, passing through the eastern Pyrenees in the north. https://turisme.llucanes.cat/municipi/olost/ https://turisme.llucanes.cat/visiteu/esglesia-santa-maria-olost/

The Medieval Bridge is located to the southeast of the center of Sant Martí near the Pont mill, crossing the Gavarresa creek. It is a beautiful and robust bridge about 25 meters long with a massive central pillar and two eyes. The bridge passage, with paved pavement, has a width of 180 centimeters and is delimited by low railings. There are traces of stone wear due to the continuous passage of carriages. The bridge was the Gavarresa crossing on the old road from Sant Martí d'Albars to Perafita. Old rural road that came from Vic and cinder road, along which they transported the ash from the coal mines that were made in the municipality to the Vic tanneries. https://turisme.llucanes.cat/visiteu/pont-medieval-de-sant-marti-dalbars/

The castle of Olost is located in a hollow – therefore in a not very strategic situation – next to the stream of Olost and to the south of the town of Olost and very close to its main nucleus, although it belongs to the municipality of Oristà. The castle arose in the 11th century after the disappearance of the castle of Oristà. It started as just a watchtower with a rectangular plan. Later on, it became a castle, although it was never a defense fortress but rather a stately residence bringing together feudal possessions. Of the old building, the tower and the Gothic chapel are currently preserved. https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castell_d%27Olost
