History
Bagà was founded in the 9th century A.D. when the region of Berguedà was repopulated by Wilfred the Hairy. The noble family of Pinós dominated most of Alt Berguedà throughout most of the Middle Ages and administered its domains from the town of Bagà, giving the town some importance.
The town was redesigned in the 13th century by Galceran IV de Pinós, and is a rare example of medieval city planning. The town grew rapidly and by the beginning of the 14th century a new neighbourhood had to be built outside the town's walls to accommodate its growing population. Bagà was also granted a weekly market (which continues to this day) consolidating its role as a regional capital.
As a curiosity, some medieval documents refer to a “Hugo of Bagà” being the founder of the Knights Templar, though this is uncertain.

Gastronomía:
Bagá destaca por su rica cocina catalana. Entre sus platos más típicos se encuentran la escudella y carn d'olla, el maíz escuadrado,
las patatas secas con picatostes, la sopa de caldo de caldero, níscalos a la brasa, "all i oli" (ajo con aceite ligados) de Navidad, la coca con pimiento y arenques y las fresas silvestres.
Antiguamente, con los huevos que se habían recogido durante los cánticos de las Coplas (Camigeres, como se dice en Bagá), se hacían tortillas que se repartían entre la chiquillada y los mayores. La fiesta se mantiene todavía, conservando así esta antigua tradición.
Museo cátaro:
En Bagá hay un museo cátaro-medieval. Por allí se realiza la Ruta de los Hombres Buenos, la ruta que siguieron los cátaros huyendo desde el Languedoc francés hacia Cataluña. Los Cátaros eran un movimiento de carácter gnóstico que surgió a mediados del siglo XI, etiquetado como herético por la Iglesia Católica de la época. Hubo comunidades cátaras por toda Europa occidental, pero su foco central estuvo en
Occitania —Languedoc y Provenza— en el sur de Francia, hasta su completa destrucción a partir de principios del siglo XIII, en que el papado lanzó una cruzada en su contra.
