Súria

Súria is a municipality in the Bages region that includes a single aggregate, that of Fusteret. It is located about 15 kilometers from Manresa and maintains a medieval appearance, with its narrow streets, arches and porches.

Súria has historically lived off the vineyard, but with the presence of phylloxera it moved away and began to approach the new industry introduced in the country relatively recently: the textile industry. Despite this, at the beginning of the 20th century Súria had also lived for many years from the extraction of potash salt deposits that were sent to Manresa with a special train.

In Súria we find different places of cultural and historical interest, among which we can highlight the Serrat del Portell del Llop, the hermitage of Sant Salvador de Súria, the castle, the Roser church, the church of Santa Maria de Cererols.

As festivities, in Súria we find the Medieval Fair, which is celebrated in the first days of the month of November, where we can remember the ancient trades and relive the activity in the streets of the town as it did many, many years ago. To get everything ready, workshops are installed so that, especially children, can learn to perform certain tasks of the trades, we can find the leather workshop, the bookbinding workshop, the games workshop, the chancas workshop or the medieval games workshop.
