Pont Nou
It is located over the Ter, just after its confluence with the Ritort, which separates the Vila de Dalt (or nucleus centered by the monastery) from the Vila de Baix. The bridge was probably built between 1196 and 1226, and partly rebuilt in the 14th century, in order to make way for the bridleway that led to Cerdanya.
Beget is 18 km away from downtown, and is considered one of the most charming villages in Catalonia. It remains virtually untouched by time and retains the natural and rural beauty of its beginnings.
Established around 950 by Guifré II of Besalú, all that remains is the Romanesque church consecrated in 1169 and built on a previous one consecrated in 904. The monastery, which soon experienced a strong religious and patrimonial expansion, was united in 1078 to the abbey of Moissac, a branch of Cluny, from which it would not separate until 1461, at which point it had already begun its decline.
Església de Santa Maria
The monks of Sant Pere de Camprodon had a chapel dedicated to Santa Maria built, with the aim of using it as a parish church under the monastery. This chapel, perhaps begun in 1013, was restored in 1096 and has been enlarged and modified on several occasions. The parish became independent of the monastery in 1759. It houses the Ark of Sant Patllari and other pieces of goldsmithing, from Sant Pere.
The Passeig Maristany was conceived by Francesc Carles Maristany i Garriga in 1923. The passeig became the cradle of an area of new construction with houses designed by architects such as Duran i Reynals, Coderch, Mitjans, Sagnier, etc.
Residential building by architect Bernardí Martorell, in Noucentista style built between 1922-23. It is one of the largest villas on the entire Maristany Avenue. Built with squared river stone, it is a magnificent example of work made with local materials. At the back of the building we find a large covered gallery that is accessible from the rooms on the upper floor, leaving the whole building covered by a gable roof on the front of the building and which when moved to the back becomes a fun game of stone and brick. The whole makes us think of a certain Victorianism. The magnificent garden that surrounds the building is worth highlighting.
El Robledal
Building built in 1930, The facades of the house have exposed stone finished with Opus spicatum. In front of the house there is a large terrace delimited by a stone balustrade. The rest of the land is formed by a large park with conifers, oaks and an araucaria located in front of the terrace. Behind the main residence is the gatehouse, rectangular in plan and covered on two sides, and an annex building, where the president of the government of the Second Spanish Republic and his family stayed for a time
Vora el Ter)
Built by Gaietà Vilella in the 1930s, it was confiscated by the Commissariat for Assistance to Refugees during the 1936-39 war to house refugees. The house was badly damaged and at the end of the war its owners commissioned the architect F. Mitjans to repair it. He also built the monumental chapel and cloister complex in 1943. The complex consists of three exposed stone buildings: the gatehouse, the chapel and the cloister, and the summer residence. The cloister and chapel are a reinterpretation of a Romanesque construction mixing original pieces from S. Esteban de Gormaz (Soria), dismantled and sold by the Castilian city council and bishopric in 1922 to an art dealer, with others that imitate them. Behind the chapel a rectangular building with a ground floor and an upper floor was built. The roof is gabled. The roofs of all the buildings are made of Arabic tiles. The exact origin of the craft pieces (capitals, lintels, corbels) is unknown.
Building built between 1948-50 designed by the architect R. Duran i Reynals. The roof is made of Arabic tiles, with important barbicans that finish the four facades. The main facade has the access to the interior. The old gatehouse is used as a residence.
Building built around 1959, by R. Duran i Reynals, which reinterprets the construction typology of mountain farmhouses. The lower part is completely excavated into the rock and contains the services, games room and boiler. Above it rises the rectangular floor of the residence developed on two levels. The roof is oriented on two slopes and covered with Arabic tiles. The main facade, oriented towards Serra Cavallera, has openings of horizontal proportion protected internally by shutters moved by a counterweight system on the inside. The other openings have more square proportions. A covered terrace with a considerable overhang opens onto the main facade. The Camprodon coat of arms, sculpted in stone, occupies a large part of the lintel of the entrance door. The entire construction is of very well-executed exposed brick. Esteve Carola was the builder who built the house
It is a work from the end of the 19th century and its route goes from the old Casal to the Font Nova. This walk is essentially dominated by horse chestnut trees. On one side, it is flanked by the left side of the Ritort river and on the other by three important listed buildings: the Casal, Can Torrent and Ca n'Oliveda. The Font Nova, which is at the end of the walk, is the work of the architect Josep Alemany.

Galetes Birba
In 1910, Llorenç Birba, advised by a friend, tried his luck with making cookies, a product that could be preserved for a longer time. In 1929 he opened a new, much larger factory, located between the municipalities of Camprodon and Llanars. That same year he won the gold medal and diploma of honor at the Barcelona International Exhibition for the quality of his cookies. The current factory was built in 2008 next to Camprodon and covers over 7,000 m², but it still retains the original factory ovens that are in perfect working order. Today Birba’s product range consists of a number of varieties, most of which it was already making when it started out in 1893.
