Challenge 1: Balç Street
The street was part of the core of the medieval city,
located around the current Plaza Major. One of the
most special characteristics of this space is its
coverage, created by the porches that were built
between house and house, at the end of medieval
times to take advantage of the scarce space that
existed inside the walled city.

Challenge 2: The old bridge
It consisted in taking a photo of the old brige
with a filter that makes it look antique.
The old bridge is an eight-and-a-half-arch bridge that
crosses the Cardener River at the southwest entrance
to Manresa. The foundations of its central arches have
their origins in the twelfth century, although
traditionally it was considered that its origin could be
traced back to the end of Roman times. The bridge
took its current form between the twelfth and
fourteenth centuries, during a general reform that
took place in the middle of the era of economic
expansion and population.
