Duesaigües: Viaduct, Renaissance Church and Routes to the Baronia

When entering Duesaigües from the T-313 road, the viaduct named after the Barranc dels Masos is visible. It reaches a maximum height of 36 metres and has been recognised as part of Catalonia’s industrial heritage.

Culture

The parish church of Santa Maria in Duesaigües is a Renaissance-style church documented since the 14th century. It was rebuilt over an older church building and consecrated in 1753.

There are several old lime kilns on the Camí de Porrera. Two of them are located in the municipality of Duesaigües and are 80 metres apart. The lime kiln on the Camí de Porrera is listed as an industrially used element from the 19th and 20th centuries, with catalogue number 49011, in the Inventory of Catalonia’s Architectural Heritage.

Duesaigües’s main festival takes place on 15 August in honour of the Assumption of Mary. Anyone wishing to read the history of the town chronologically can consider the documented mention, the construction phases, the industrial evidence and the festival date as different points of reference.

Other places: Prat De Comte, Arbolí, Albinyana, L'arboç, L'eucaliptus, Sant Jaume Dels Domenys, Ferran and Les Borges Del Camp.
