After leaving Solsona and heading towards Torà (on the LV-3002), visitors should follow the signpost, after about 6 km, that points the way to Su and to the
Santuari del Miracle (Pyrenees-El Solsonès - Spain).
The complex of the eSantuari del Miracle (Miracle Shrine) is well-worth a visit, with its church and majestic baroque style altar dating from the 18th century.
On arriving at the small village of Su, visitors will find a road branching off to the right that leads to the village of
Ardèvol. There, it is possible to climb to the top of an old, square-plan, defence tower that stands in
the very centre of the village. This tower had its exterior recovered and outer walls made thicker by the
addition of cut stone in about the 12th century, which transformed it into a great cylindrical tower. Very
nearby, it is possible to visit the Santuari (shrine) de Pinós. Just a few metres from this building,
a compass rose engraved in stone indicates that this is the geographic centre of Catalonia.
From this point, which stands at an altitude of 940 metres, there is a magnificent panoramic view that reaches as far as the
Pyrenees (Spain), Collsacabra and Montseny. Continuing along the road to Calaf, visitors can go on to La Molsosa
and the small settlement of Prades.
