Sant Julià de Cerdanyola

Sant Julià de Cerdanyola is a municipality in the Berguedà region, located in part of the considered natural region of Alt Berguedà. It is located at an altitude of almost 1,000 meters high and surrounded by beautiful mountains and peaks that make its views unique and give it this air of a specific territory within the natural region area. Sant Julià de Cerdanyola is limited by the terms of the Nou de Berguedà, the Pobla de Lillet and Castell de l'Areny.

Formerly, Sant Julià de Cerdanyola had been part of the lands of the Monastery of Sant Llorenç near Bagà, but later it became independent and, in fact, it was its term that gave its name to the municipality that included, in those times, Guardiola de Berguedà, although in the 30s of the 20th century the tables were turned and Guardiola acquired the capital status. Later, and already immersed in the democratic period, Sant Julià de Cerdanyola became independent from Guardiola and formed its own municipality in the mid-90s.

Within the municipality of Sant Julià de Cerdanyola we find a place called La Creu and that allows us to contemplate all the beauty that its surroundings offer us. In this recreation area we find an orientation board that indicates, among other spaces, the Pedraforca, which we can see from this point.
