Berga (cat. Berga) is a city in central Catalonia, the capital of the Berguedà region and the former capital of the County of Berga. The city is in the middle of the Berguedà, at the foot of the Sierra de Queralt and facing the Llobregat valley. The municipality has an area of 22.54 km² and includes the old textile colony of Cal Rosal and Valldan. To the north and northeast, it borders Cercs, to the southeast with Olvan, to the south by Avià, to the southwest by Capolat and to the northwest by Castellar del Riu.
Berga, and its Valldan aggregate, enjoy a strategic and privileged position at the bottom of the first foothills of the Pre-Pyrenees, in a middle mountain resort, with forests, meadows, torrents and fountains, facing noon and protected from the inclement weather.
It is in the proximity of the river Llobregat, which means that it is on the edge of a natural corridor that connects the mountain terrain with the lower ones that finally lead to the Bages plain.
It is not surprising then, that in a place with these characteristics the prehistoric man lived steadily at times, and at others he would experience long seasons.
