Igualada’s architecture presents a fascinating mix of medieval, neoclassical, and modern styles. The old town (Casc Antic) is a maze of narrow streets and squares that reflect the city’s medieval origins, with beautiful stone buildings and charming plazas like the Plaça de l’Ajuntament (Town Hall Square). The Igualada Cemetery, designed by Catalan architect Enric Miralles, is another architectural marvel, widely regarded for its innovative design and considered a piece of modernist architecture.
One of the city’s top attractions is the Basilica of Santa Maria, a beautiful Gothic-style church with an impressive bell tower, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area. Another must-see is the Museu de la Pell, showcasing Igualada’s famous leather industry and providing an in-depth look at the city’s industrial past.
Nature lovers can enjoy the Parc Central del Anoia, a large green space perfect for leisurely walks or picnics. Igualada’s proximity to Montserrat Mountain also makes it an ideal base for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the natural beauty of Catalonia.
