Parc de la Sèquia

The Sèquia, which we can enjoy today in the form of the park, with its range of leisure activities, was built in the mid-14th century to overcome the drought being suffered by Manresa. Running for 26km, and with a 20m height difference, it crosses torrents and dried up rivers thanks to about thirty aqueducts and tunnels.
The path beside the Sèquia, which has been used for constant maintenance of the canal by the sequiaires of the the Sèquia Board, dates from the same period. Nowadays, this path has been adapted so that visitors can enjoy the Sèquia Route on foot. Crossing woods, market gardens and fields of crops, everyone can discover the natural wealth of the Bages Plain. The route can be followed from end to end without too many difficulties or as short or medium-length walks, normally returning to the starting point.
The facilities and spaces making up the Sèquia Park are: the Sèquia, L'Agulla Park, L'Agulla Park Visitors Centre, the Centre de l'Aigua de Can Font and the Museu de la Tècnica.
