Discover the Devil's Bridge

One of Martorell's best-known monuments is the Diable Bridge. It is located on the Llobregat river and has a Roman origin. Although its construction dates back to the 1st century BC, over the years it has been redone several times. One of the most important reforms was the one carried out in 1289 and which incorporated unequal pointed arches in the Gothic style. Unfortunately, during the Spanish Civil War some of these arches were destroyed. In 1963 they were rebuilt following their original Gothic design.

Visit the Tiling Museum

The Museu de l'Enrajolada was founded in 1876 and is one of the oldest in Catalunya. Its background consists of pieces of pottery and other ancient elements such as sculptures, paintings or furniture. There is also a lot of archaeological material that comes from various excavations that have been done in the region. The collection of tiles dating from the 14th century to the present day stands out.
