Sant Feliu Sasserra

Sant Feliu Sasserra is a municipality of 615 inhabitants, administratively belonging to the Bages region. It is situated in a unique and beautiful location, surrounded by pine, holm oak, and oak forests, ideal for mushroom hunting, and dotted with springs. The economy is based on agriculture, livestock farming, and industry.

Rural landscape and traditional economy

Sant Feliu Sasserra is the southwestern gateway to Lluçanès from Bages. The territory stretches around the Relat stream and has no other urban center besides the town itself, although it retains numerous scattered farmhouses that define its rural character. The local economy is based primarily on agriculture, livestock farming, and moderate industrial activity, maintaining a balance between tradition and modernity.

Witchcraft, history and collective memory

Sant Feliu, like other places in the Lluçanès region, has a strong tradition of witchcraft stories. At the top of the village stands the Serrat de les Forques, where, historically, the last Catalan witches were hanged. It offers a good panoramic view and is currently occupied by a Modernist-style building.

Architectural heritage and religious art

The Romanesque church of Sant Feliu Sasserra was built during the 11th century on top of an older 10th-century church. The temple was enriched during the 12th century with a portal in the same style, with worked archivolts and sculpted capitals, which is still intact today, preserved as a side entrance to the temple (1581).
