The museum of "Mushroom Art" is located in the city centre, in a square called "Plaça del Mercat". Due to the abundance of mushrooms, since the mid-twentieth century in the region of Berguedà, the town of Berga has become "the capital of mushrooms". This region is considered the best area to pick mushrooms. The museum shows more than 500 pieces of ceramics which represent over 200 species of mushrooms, all of them handmade by Josefina Vilajosana.
You can also visit the ruins of the castle of Montmajor, whose owner was a troubadour called Guillem de Berguedà until 1187. Nowadays, you can only see the remains of the tower. Next to it, there are the ruins of the Romanesque hermitage of Sant Sadurní, the castle's church which dates from 1050. The parish church was built at the beginning of the 19th century.
