Montsacopa Volcano Museum Space
Volcano located in the heart of the city of Olot, aligned between the volcanoes of Montolivet and Garrinada.
A circular and central crater volcanic cone, 120 metres in diameter, with great scientific and educational interest, with old quarries (closed in the 1960s).
The church of Sant Francesc, at the top, rebuilt in 1875.
The two watchtowers, built during the Carlist Wars (second half of the 19th century), are excellent viewpoints over Olot and the volcanic zone of la Garrotxa.

From Parc Nou you can follow the No. 17 signposted walking route, which covers a distance of 5 km through the city and takes you up to the crater in around 50 minutes.
It can also be accessed from the parking lot of the cemetery of Olot along the same No.17 route with a 400 metre climb (25 minutes) or from the City’s Tourist Information Centre (45 min).
People with mobility difficulties who need to access the Montsacopa volcano with a vehicle must request the corresponding authorisation by e-mail at turisme@olot.cat providing a few days’ notice.
