The Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Lighthouse from the 11th century, is located at 1,112 m high, with magnificent views over the Susqueda marsh, the cliffs of Tavertet, Les Guilleries and El Montseny, leaving the village of Sant Martí Sacalm at his feet The sanctuary has an inn, restaurant and picnic area.

Located at the tip of a large cliff, with wide views in all directions, which is undoubtedly where its name comes from, the lighthouse sanctuary is one of the most visible places in the country. Now as before or even more since the modern restoration, the sanctuary to the Virgin of the Lighthouse, is the most visited and well-known place in the whole area. The oldest news about the Lighthouse dates back to 1256 and it was already recorded as a place of great devotion in 1332. It presides over its church, all stone and barrel vaulted, rebuilt after the earthquakes of the 15th century, a devout Gothic image of alabaster, restored and again polychrome in 1922. The church forms a complex with a large building or inn, former hermits' house, largely rebuilt between 1599 and 1648.

From Sant Martí Sacalm you can walk up the Santa Anna grade, which is the best known, but also the Cabrafiga grade or the Goleró grade, on the Fornils side.
