Directions
Espai Cràter tells the geological story of Olot and the volcanic landscape around it, placing the city’s past in the context of eruptions that shaped this part of Catalonia over thousands of years. Rather than presenting volcanoes as distant natural wonders, the centre connects local geology with the landscape people live in today. Its compact exhibition uses hands-on stations and immersive audiovisual displays to explain volcanic processes and the area’s geological evolution, making complex science accessible to children and adults alike. Information is available in Catalan, Spanish, French, and English. For visitors exploring Olot, it offers an introduction to why volcanoes are central to the region’s identity and a useful starting point for looking more closely at the surrounding terrain.
