Sant Mateu de Bages
Village
Sant Mateu de Bages is a rural municipality in the south-east of the Bages, in the province of Barcelona, located on the slopes of the serra de Castelltallat, from which it takes its popular name of Mirabages. With 102,9 km², it is the largest municipality in the province; it was formed in 1840 by the grouping of the entities of Castelltallat, Coaner, Saló, Sant Mateu de Bages and Valls de Torroella. The place has been documented since the 10th century, and its castle is first mentioned in 1018. During the Second Republic it bore the official name of Bages d'en Selves. It preserves the Castelltallat dolmen and an Archaeological and Agricultural Tools Museum opened in 2010. It has 641 inhabitants.
Mountain range of Castelltallat
Nature
A mountain range located between the east of Anoia and the south of Solsonès, most of which belongs to the municipality of Sant Mateu de Bages, while its westernmost end lies within the boundaries of Pinós and la Molsosa. The old village of Castelltallat, an independent municipality until 1840, is today a parish within Sant Mateu de Bages; its church of Sant Miquel, at 887 metres above sea level, stands at the foot of the old castle of Castelltallat and combines Romanesque, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical styles in its fabric. Next to the castle and the church is the Castelltallat Astronomical Observatory, an observation centre where artists and musicians also stay, recognised in 2025 with the Starlight starlight-reserve seal.
