The city of Manresa lies in the geographic centre of Catalonia, between the banks of the River Cardener and majestic Mount Montserrat, at the confluence of the Eix del Llobregat and Eix Transversal roads. Its climate, Mediterranean with continental influence, makes the city particularly attractive to production companies seeking film locations, as both summers and winters are dry, with most rainfall concentrated in spring and autumn. Apart from its logistic facilities, Manresa also offers production companies a huge diversity of locations. This thousand-year-old city conserves streets and monuments marked particularly by three important historical periods, embodied in the Gothic city, with the Church of La Seu, the emblematic Old Bridge (Pont Vell), the vast work that is La Sèquia canal, and the streets of the old town; the baroque city, with typical mansions and the famous Cave of Saint Ignatius; and the industrial city, light, airy and elegant, structured around the central promenade and the shopping area, featuring countless magnificent Modernista buildings, such as El Casino, the Casa Lluvià and La Buresa. Furthermore, Manresa offers cultural facilities (outstandingly the Kursaal theatre), services and industrial sites which enable the city to offer the highest guarantees of quality when it comes to lending its many and varied locations to audiovisual production companies. Those interested in filming in Manresa should contact the local authority Department of Culture and Tourism.
