The term of 28.9 km, is formed by the town of Casserres and the rural enclaves of Fonogedell, Sant Pau de Casserres and the textile colonies of Ametlla de Casserres and El Guixaró, at the foot of the Llobregat river.

The name comes from the Latin "castri sierras", which means Sierras del castillo. The main nucleus of population is the village of Casserres together with the rural enclaves of Fonogedell, Sant Pau de Casserres and the textile colonies of the Ametlla de Casserres and the Guixaró.

The municipality is characterized for having a relatively small urban nucleus, with a very old origin, and a dispersed settlement linked to the agricultural economy, also of long tradition. Also for having maintained the classical architectural structures, without having penetrated the fashions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, apart from the creation of the colonies and some historical elements such as the church of Roser or the Tower of the Lord of the colony of l ' Ametlla.

The different paths that surround the municipality provide great views and pleasures of nature, ideal to enjoy as a family.
