Discover Castellbisbal

Castellbisbal can be explored through several distinct themes: agricultural history, historic buildings and routes across the municipality. When planning your stay, consider whether you would like to focus mainly on the history of agriculture, individual examples of architecture or outdoor activities. Museums, routes and festival traditions offer specific starting points.

Routes and vineyards

The Ruta de les barraques de vinya leads to Turó de la Gatzarella. There, you can see shelters dug into the rock face. The Pels verals de Castellbisbal route offers a different connection to winegrowing: it passes vineyards on its way towards Serra de Can Galí. The two routes thus differ in their stated destinations and the landscapes they pass through.

Castellbisbal has up to seven routes that cross the entire municipality. They are designed for hiking and can also be used for mountain biking. When choosing a route, consider whether you would like to travel on foot or include mountain biking.

Agriculture and technology

The Museu de la Pagesia was founded in 1985 with local donations of agricultural tools and objects from rural daily life. It offers an overview of more than 900 years of agricultural tradition in Castellbisbal. Its themed sections cover rural life, fieldwork, and transport and markets. Together, they trace the journey from everyday life and work in the fields to the exchange of goods.

The Museu del Tractor d'Època has a different focus: Across 2,000 m², it presents more than a century of tractor history and over 100 machines. While the Museu de la Pagesia brings together different aspects of rural life and work, this museum focuses especially on tractors and their history. If you plan to visit a museum, check the latest visitor information in advance.

Buildings and historical traces

A monumental triumphal arch stands at the eastern end of the Pont del Diable, within the municipality of Castellbisbal. It measures 9 × 10.6 metres at its base. The Pedrera de Can Campranyà is also linked to the building materials used for this structure: the quarry has supplied building materials for the Pont del Diable since Roman times.

Sant Vicenç del Castell reflects a different historical development. The former parish church later became a hermitage after the new parish seat was moved to the town centre. Sant Joan de Benviure is considered a Romanesque chapel. Can Pedrerol de Baix is regarded as a late-built masia, a traditional Catalan farmhouse. Its Modernist additions were commissioned from the architect Antoni Maria Gallissa i Soqué. These examples represent different building types and changes over the course of local history.

Riverside landscape and festival traditions

The stretch of the Llobregat bordering Castellbisbal and Martorell lies within the Montserrat - Roques Blanques - Riu Llobregat Natura 2000 protected area.

Festivals also offer insight into local traditions. The Empaitafoc is one of the main events of the Festa Major d'estiu and ends with dancing in Plaça de l'Església. The Festa Major de Sant Vicenç is Castellbisbal’s second major festival. It combines a solemn mass with popular events such as concerts, dances and football matches. If you would like to plan your trip around a festival, check the dates for each one.
