What to see and do in Vilanova del Camí

Vilanova del Camí
Village
Vilanova del Camí is a municipality in the comarca of l'Anoia, conurbated with Igualada, with 12,936 inhabitants and an area of 10.54 km², where the dels Esgavellats site and the la Guàrdia hill are preserved. Its origin lies in two separate settlements that were not unified until the end of 1830: la Quadra de Vilanova, which belonged to Mombuy, and Vilanova del Camí, a lordship of the Claramunt family, whose first houses were built next to an outlying tower of the castle of Claramunt that watched over Igualada, already documented in 1206. The name Villanueva del Camino appears in 1324. The municipality obtained its jurisdictional independence in 1727 and ecclesiastical independence in 1779. The economy, traditionally agricultural and diversified with mills, always remained closely tied to the industry of Igualada.
