Sant Llorenç de Morunys

The municipality of Sant Llorenç de Morunys is the smallest of the 14 municipalities that make up the Solsonès region. It has only 4.34 km² which are not even in a single continuous line, as it is divided into two parts.
The smallest of the two parts does not reach 1 km² and is constituted by an enclosure shaped like a musketeer hat when seen from a side and with the front tip of the hat facing towards the town of Sant Llorenç. This enclave includes Mola de Lord, the southern section of the Tossal de Vall-llonga slope and to the north it forms a narrow strip, about 500 m long and 150 wide.To the east it borders with the road that goes to the sanctuary of Lord and to the west with the Torroella gully, and its northernmost part begins after the second turn to the left, which is the path that leads to the sanctuary, having passed the tunnel. This narrow strip borders to the north and east with Guixers and the rest of the enclave borders with Navès.
The largest part of the municipal district, which includes the urban nucleus, has about 3.6 km² and is surrounded by the municipal district of Guixers, except for a narrow strip in the NW of about 400 meters in length where it runs through the municipal district of La Coma and La Pedra.
Location and orography
Large part of the municipality is located in the south-eastern part of the Sovereign Valley of Lord, on a plane sloping to the east, on the lower part of the south east slope of the Querol range and on the eastern slope of Coll de Jou.
The easternmost point of this part of the municipal district is flooded by the waters of the Llosa del Cavall reservoir.
