During the High Middle Ages, the capital of the border of Old Catalonia was already the fortified city of Manresa. At the time of Guifré, in the year 889, we still find it documented as the city of Manresa which, with his son Sunyer I, will already be the county capital and of the Bages countryside. In the 10th century, the center of the fortified area of this burgh was distributed between the top of the Puig del Cardener, defending the border from its cliffs, and the Puig del Mercadal.
