The Mathematics Museum of Catalonia is housed on the upper floor of the Palau Mercader Museum in Cornellà, an area of more than 300 m² featuring all manner of exhibitions and activities addressing mathematics from a practical and fun perspective.

The initiative was promoted by the Association to Promote and Create a Mathematics Museum in Catalonia (MMACA), and thanks the collaboration of Cornellà City Council it houses a permanent exhibition of the collection "Mathematical Experiences", comprising games, construction sets and a range of different elements divided into galleries dedicated to Geometry, Mirrors, Calculus and Statistics, Sets and Strategy, and Cartography.

The MMACA project aims to cover both fun and cultural aspects and also mathematical applications viewed with rigour and quality, supported by the fact that the Catalan mathematics scene boasts a large number of well-organised, innovative and active professionals, with a wide range of individuals in contact.

The fact that there is no other mathematics museum in Catalonia or Spain means that this project represents a great opportunity to bring together, blend, promote and structure a key aspect in the country's future: the role and vision of the world of mathematics and its social impact.

Meanwhile, the initiative is linked up with international projects emphasising the need to create settings outside school that will promote the learning and understanding of mathematics and science.

The Font de les Rovires is located in the natural area of ​​Les Rovires, well-suited and arranged for the recreation of the people of Pallejà. It is located next to a waterfall that is located above it, a wooden bridge that crosses the Les Rovires stream, and a wooden table with benches, all perfectly arranged and arranged with wooden stairs and railings.

The fountain is tucked away on the side, below the steps that go up to the waterfall. It is a small stone wall tied through, which the water flows through an iron spout and falls into a square sink that rests directly on the ground. On the left side, we find a stainless steel City Hall sign with the name of the fountain engraved in black letters.

If you are interested in biology and if you like to differentiate trees and plants, you will spend an entertaining time here. Next to the fountain, there is a picnic area, which becomes ideal considering this environment.

To get there, you have to follow the cemented path for just 100 m past Can Coll until it ends. At this point, you have to continue on the right along the dirt forest track. After just 40 m, you will find the Font del Carinyo, another of the town's attractions, which you have to leave behind and continue along the wide, flat reddish dirt track in a northwesterly direction for another half a kilometre. Once here, there are signs pointing to the source; you have to turn right and go down a steep, heavily eroded path due to the passage of water that leads, 75 m further down, to the Font de les Rovires.

The BCIL route is a pleasant walk through Sant Vicenç dels Horts that shows us 10 areas of the municipality declared Cultural Assets of Local Interest.

The spaces that we can find in this route are:
- Can Comamala
- Mill of the Friars
- Roman baths
- Pi Gros Park
- Ca l'Aragall
- Can Reverter
- Can Costa
- Santa Eulàlia House
- Parish Church
- Catwalk Pillar

A walk to enjoy and get to know the town

Sant Vicenç is a municipality with a heritage that reflects its evolution. The mosaic of buildings and surroundings offered by the route aims to show the diversity of historical periods, architectural styles or social environments that have been around the town of Sant Vicenç since ancient times.

If you want to enjoy nature you can visit the Pi Gros park, a large forest area of ​​more than 20 ha. where various species of Mediterranean trees grow, such as the Scots pine, a century-old tree that gives the park its name. The path of the Font de Sant Josep is a walk that connects the city center with the terraces of the park.

Church of the first Catalan Romanesque. Highlights include the Romanesque bell tower and presbytery, and the pre-Romanesque interior nave from the 10th-11th centuries. The building has a single floor plan and a tripartite head with three semicircular apses arranged in a cross.

Church first documented in 1110 and which is a harmonious example of the first Romanesque style in Catalonia. The building is a single floor plan and head of three elements with three semicircular apses arranged in a cross, which have three semicircular windows open to the wall. The apses generate three arches that rotate in a transept covered with an edge vault and the naves are covered with a barrel vault.

In the 12th century an extension was made which affected the walls of the nave and the entrance door to the side wall. This access consists of a semicircular archivolt sculpted with plant motifs.

Puig i Cadafalch speaks of this church as an example of a transfer between the temples that have a dome to those that do not.

The Seven Balconies of Montserrat are seven natural and panoramic viewpoints of the magical mountain that contemplate it from Abrera, Castellví de Rosanes, Collbató, Esparreguera, Martorell, Olesa de Montserrat and Sant Esteve Sesrovires.

These viewpoints are the perfect place to enjoy nature and the activities that this northen area of Baix Llobregat offers, such as hiking, cycling or family tourism. At the same time, they allow you to enjoy gastronomy with native products, visits to wineries and cellars, a heritage that shows the past and the history of the territory, such as the Sedó Colony in Esparreguera or the Pont del Diable in Martorell, and unique events, such as the performances of the ''Passions'' during the spring.

The Sant Boi River Park retrieves for the citizens a large space formerly occupied by former illegal gardens located very close to the urban center of Sant Boi de Llobregat.

In fact, the case of Sant Boi de Llobregat was paradigmatic since, until recently, this important municipality of more than 82,000 inhabitants lived completely behind the river due to the fact that access to the river space was virtually impossible for them pedestrian if it was not the basis of long and dangerous routes. The new access pass to the Llobregat river draws the routes of the Generalitat de Catalunya Railways and flies over the Canal de la Dreta del Llobregat and the crowded BV-2002, thus creating a comfortable route that leaves the river space with little 250 meters from the town hall and the city center.

In short, a 3 hectare fluvial park has been recovered where plantations of different species of riverside vegetation have been carried out. In total, more than 200 trees, including willows, poplars, ash trees, poplars and figs. There are also more than a thousand aquatic plants, shrubs such as lawns and vineyards such as hauri

It is a very open and very sunny park, with parterres of green meadows and trees of great dimensions. One of the paths that cross it leads to a higher area where the park can be seen from another point of view. In the park we find the Camprubí house, built between 1927 and 1928 by the architect Josep Mª Jujol Gibert.

In addition, the Environmental game offers a lot of proposals to enjoy in family and know the values of the metropolitan parks, the nature and the environment through the game and the activity

The museum was founded in 1876 by Francesc Santacana Campmany (1810-1896), an example of romantic idealism which drove its creator to collect artefacts from palaces and old religious buildings, (mainly from Barcelona, Martorell and their surrounding areas in his house to try to recover their original function. He also put together a collection of his own paintings and those of other artists he met while he was studying La Llotja (Free School of Fine Arts of Barcelona), and with many others who he was in touch later on in time, such as: Pau, Lluís and Agustí Rigalt, Marià Fortuny, Damià Campeny, Claudi Lorenzale, Pelegrí Clavé, Ramón Vives, Ramón Martí Alsina, Francesc Torrescassana, Joaquim Vayreda, ”Natzarena” school representatives or prestigious landscape painters. His work was continued by his grandson, Francesc Santacana Romeu (1883-1936), who named the house L’Enrajolada because of the great number of tiles (rajoles) the museum contained. It is one of the oldest museums in Catalonia and a great example of 19th century collections. It was much visited by travellers at that time as can be seen by the many written testimonies. Guided visits allow 21st century visitors to fully appreciate the spirit of the founder whilst passing through the different rooms filled with diverse objects from diverse places, including floor and wall tiles, ceramic works, drawings, engravings, architectural and sculptural elements, furniture and decorative objects. L’Enrajolada also houses the ceramic collection of the scholar and soldier Lluís Faraudo of Saint-Germain (1867-1957).

The Devil’s Bridge is one of the remains that are kept as evidence of the Roman road network in the low part of the Llobregat and Anoia rivers zone. It’s located at the Congost del Llobregat (gorge entrance) just after the confluence with the Anoia River. It was raised towards the year 10 B.C. by the Roman legions III (Macedonica), VI (Victrix) and X (Gemina), according to the identified marks shown in some stone blocks, just when the new Via Augusta (roman road) -as a result of the foundation of the Iulia Augusta Paterna Faventia Barcino (Barcelone)- was carried out, at the end of the 1st century B.C. The bridge arch is this period most important proof which has been kept until now. The date of destruction of the Roman Bridge is ignored but we know for certain that, in 1283 the process of construction a gothic style new bridge, with a similar appearance to the present one was started. The bridge reconstruction, also called de Sant Bartomeu –because of the Romanesque chapel close to it – or stone bridge, was a great work and with the aim of building the bridge, money was collected and taxes prevailed for long. The road network transformation development, mainly from the XVIII century, caused numerous interventions on the bridge work and its surroundings, like the construction of the Headquarters of Cavalry. The bridge was blown up by the Republican Army when the soldiers were retreating nearly at the end of the Spanish Civil War. The works of reconstruction of the central Gothic arch began in 1961. The demolition of the houses affixed to the bridge end brought to light some remains of the Roman bridge wall and the old municipal slaughter house (1990), as well as the location of the Saint Bartomeu chapel archaeological remains.

On the plains of Anoia you can find the Santa Margarida archaeological site, which is structured around a roman church dating back to the end of the twelfth century, and a sixteenth century farm. The land, along with the old Sant Genís de Rocafort monastery, was handed over to the town by their owner, Pau Sendrós, in 1967. He hoped that it would be devoted to archaeological investigation. In 1972 the Centre d’ Estudis Martorellencs began this work. Since 1981, the project has been integrated into the investigation programmes of the Prehistoric, Ancient History and Archaeology departments at the University of Barcelona. Santa Margarida presents an extensive and continuous historic sequence, which is still in its early stages of study and spans from the tenth century to the present day. The key characterising elements of all of them are: a Roman church dating back to the end of the 12th Century built on the remains of early Christian churches from the 10th Century; a necropolis which covers a wide timeline from the 10th century to the 18th,; a collection of pits localised to the inside and outside of the church built in the first half of the 11th a collection of structures associated with the church, directly or indirectly linked, whose functions were funeral, religious or of habit, and a 17th century and a farm built on an 16th century structure with some elements present of the 14th century. Part of the site has been installed in a museum and you can visit the inside of the farm in an exposition.

Begun in 1889 and blessed on November 13, 1891 during the time of rector Pau Costas, it replaced a previous building from the 17th century, it is the result of several attempts to build a new church in the town, all previous projects were discarded due to difficulties economic Most of the population participated in this work by contributing money or wages. Built following a rather eclectic mixed neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque style, with neo-medieval lines, it is the work of the architect Josep Domènech i Estapà. It consists of a larger and higher central nave and two side naves with chapels; the building with transept, semicircular apse and two bell towers flanking the main door to the north. It adopts solutions from the Romanesque tradition (apse and transept) and also from the Gothic (pointed arches, buttresses).

The Friars flour mill is one of the most historic buildings in Sant Vicenç dels Horts. Of medieval origin, the monastery of Sant Pau del Camp bought it in 1370 and associated the name. At the time, the mill had three grinding wheels. At the beginning of the 16th century, the mill came under the protection of Fernando el Católico. After a brief period of dependence on the Montserrat monastery (1583-1723), it was transferred to the Sant Pau monastery, at which time the relief of the saint was placed on the semicircular arch of the entrance portal.

With the confiscation of the ecclesiastical assets of the s. XIX, the State sold it at auction in 1877 to Antoni Xuriguer Andario, a Barcelonan house. From this moment on, changes of ownership are frequent until it ends up in the hands of the Sant Vicenç City Council, already in a contemporary stage. In this second modern stage the mill was active with only two grinding wheels.

The structure of the building is the classic one of a hydraulic mill, which is largely preserved. The area of ​​the grinding wheels remains buried under the farmhouse, where two Gothic vaults guard two of the grinding wheels (lower and upper) and a modern iron riser. The three water outlet arches of the carcabans and the large pond in the southern sector also stand out.

The mills are not a strange building in the landscape of Sant Vicenç and, although now only the Molí dels Frares is preserved, they were common in the Llobregat river beds and in the Torrelles and Cervelló streams.

A walk to learn about the heritage and history of the municipality

You can walk through its streets and buildings and solve the proposed puzzles with the information that you can capture on your mobile device using QR codes marked at each point.

The route begins at the Castle, and continues around the Plaça Major, the City Council building and the Plaça de les Masies area. Then, it continues through Can Daunis and Ca l'Obianc, to head towards Plaça de l'Estació, the church and, finally, ending at Ca n'Albareda.

During the route you will learn about historical events, such as those of the Peninsular War, or the history and transformation of Pallejà up to the present day.

The Font del Carinyo in the municipality of Pallejà is a unique natural environment for walking and has been a meeting point for the people of Pallejà since the 20th century. Its history is linked to the marriage of the former owners of the estate, Mr. Seix and Mercè, because this fountain is a gift that Mr. Seix gave to his wife to improve her health.

It is part of the old romantic garden of Can Seix, with a large pond 10 m in diameter and 1.5 m deep. It is not a natural spring, since the water flows from the tanks that the Seix family had built to collect the water that flows from the Presa de l'Aigua, at the top of the Toscos stream, in the Les Rovires sector, another point of natural interest.

In the pond, water lilies and yellow lilies can still be found, which contribute to the reproduction of a large number of species, such as the tree frog, the green frog, the toad, or the salamander. Dragonflies and other aquatic invertebrates can also be easily seen.

The fountain is part of the pond and emerges from its contour. The front wall is made of exposed brick, rounded at the top. In the middle there is a ceramic tile panel, very worn and damaged by the passage of time, where, in addition to the name of the fountain, this phrase could be read: "La Sra. Mercedes Bonastre que prodigaba bondad como la fuente da el agua que fluye mansamente". Below, there is a semicircular stone basin that collected the water. Today, part of it is missing, and the spout through which the water flowed has disappeared, and only the hole remains.

The environment is ideal for walking surrounded by plane trees, and it is also a space where several species of birds are still found, such as the grey flycatcher, the greenfinch, the blackbird, the raspinell, the green woodpecker, the great tit, or the red-footed sparrow.

It is one of the most significant and representative elements of the municipality, classified as a Cultural Asset of National Interest. It has the characteristics of a defense tower and, in medieval times, it had been linked to a castle-type construction. It is located in Plaça Nova, in the old town, next to the parish church. Its current appearance and its height are the result of a reconstruction from the beginning of the 16th century. The plan is square and the walls slope in the shape of a truncated pyramid, very apparent at the base and almost imperceptible in height. At the top it is crowned by a low octagonal body with a wrought iron element that houses the two bells of the municipal clock. It housed the Olesa prison from the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Despite being now the municipal clock tower, it is mistaken for the bell tower of the church, which was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.

The Margarit ice well (coordinates 41°30'52.7"N 1°53'24.2"E) is one of the most relevant historical, monumental, cultural and ethnological treasures of the town of Abrera and the Baix Llobregat region. It is located in a privileged location, in an area of ​​natural interest such as the Torrente Grande de Abrera. It is publicly owned and was declared a Cultural Asset of Local Interest (BCIL) in May 2021. With its potential as a source of knowledge about our past, it makes it an element that should be protected and preserved.

The Llobregat River Park in the municipality of Pallejà is helping to gradually recover the riverside ecosystem and has also allowed the gradual recovery of the link between the Llobregat River and the inhabitants of Pallejà.

The Llobregat River, as it passes through Pallejà, is in its lower section, before its mouth. Around this section lies the main alluvial plain of Catalonia, the Llobregat Delta, some 98 km² of high interest for the diversity of water birds, since the delta is in the middle of the Western Mediterranean migratory route.

The population has always had an important link with the river. Decades ago, it was common to see entire families spending their afternoons by the river and having their meals there in contact with nature.

A visit to this natural space, so close to the urban centre, allows you to enjoy a walk, do sports, or observe numerous species of birds on the riverbed. The river space now constitutes an area for leisure and for practicing sports and is also an unbeatable setting for learning about an important part of the natural environment of our municipality.

The medieval tower defense Benviure was built in the s. X to defend the city of Barcelona attacks from the kingdoms of Al- Andalus and, along with other buildings such as the Tower of Llor, the Salbana Tower, or the castles of Eramprunyà (957), Castelldefels (967) or Sant Boi (969) defined the space frontier with Muslim kingdoms known as the Marca Hispanica. Benviure tower was built on an ancient Iberian settlement. The building was located on a site of great strategic importance for the control of a large territory, which was the pre-coastal mountain range to the rich land of the Llobregat delta. It was also located at a major crossroads, north to south to Barcelona and Tarragona, which roamed old Roman roads, roads that were forming a network protected by the king, the royal road paths.

It is documented that the surface of the Roman villa of Sant Vicenç dels Horts covered much of the subsoil of the historical center. One of the best studied spaces is the oven structures and complementary work rooms. The oven and workshop have been documented around the 1st century AD and were active for over a hundred years. The main activity of the oven was the cooking of wine amphorae, although it was also used for everyday use widgets and constructive materials. By the end of the 2nd century AD, it ceased to function.

At a later stage, in the second half of the 4th century AD until the definitive abandonment of the villa in the 5th century, the area was re-used and destined for oil production for the proximity market. The excavated remains of this time have allowed a press to be documented and several lacuses (diposits to store liquids) were raised over the ancient oven structures.

From the seal identified in the excavated amphoras at the site (SYNE), the ceramic workshop is believed to belong to a Barcino freedman, Caius Trocina Synecdemus.
