Rupit, Medieval village in Osona, Spain.
Rupit is a mountain village at 850 meters elevation in the foothills of Montseny, with tightly clustered stone houses and a suspension bridge spanning rocky terrain. The buildings follow typical Catalan mountain construction methods and form an interconnected street network.
The settlement began in the 12th century and maintained independence for centuries until 1977, when it merged with the nearby Pruit. This union created the present-day municipality under its combined name.
The settlement preserves its medieval character through narrow lanes and ancient stone buildings that reveal how mountain communities once functioned. Visitors today experience how traditional construction and local customs shape daily life in the village.
The location is reachable via marked hiking paths with waterfalls and natural features, offering different routes for various fitness levels. The best time to visit is during warmer months when all trails are safely accessible.
The village is home to fewer than 200 permanent residents who nonetheless maintain the entire medieval infrastructure and architectural heritage. This small community demonstrates how a handful of people can sustain an entire village.
