In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we are going to take a photographic walk through the old town of Casserres, enjoying the tranquility that is breathed in its streets.
Casserres is a town and municipality in the Berguedà region. The number comes from the Latin castri sierras, meaning "hills of the castle".
The main population center is the town of Casserres, along with the rural enclaves of Fonogedell, Sant Pau de Casserres and the textile colonies of Ametlla de Casserres and Guixaró.
The municipality is characterized by having a relatively small urban nucleus, with a very ancient origin, and a dispersed population linked to the agricultural economy, also with a long tradition. In addition, Casserres is surrounded by the municipalities of Àvia, L'Espunyola, Viver i Serrateix, Gironella, and Puig-reig: at the ends it is crossed by the streams of Clara and Merola and at the foot of the river Llobregat.
Among the places of interest in Casserres, the Parish Church of Santa María de los Ángeles stands out, dating from the 14th century, which has a Baroque altarpiece from 1704, and the Church of Sant Pau de Caserres, from the 12th century, with paintings murals preserved in the Diocesan Museum of Solsona.
