Sant Jaume de Vallhonesta

Sant Jaume de Vallhonesta stands at 490 meters elevation within Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac Natural Park, featuring vernacular architecture and historic structures.

The church was documented in the late 13th century, while the hostel gained importance as one of three major stops along the royal road from Barcelona to Manresa.

The site received Cultural Asset of Local Interest designation in 2011, preserving the architectural heritage of Sant Vicenç de Castellet for future generations.

Visitors can explore the remains of the era, access portals, cisterns, wine vats, an oil mill, and stables with their vaulted ground floor.

During the French War of 1808-1812, the hostel served as a military barracks, coordinating the defense of the royal road and neighboring municipalities.
