Hermitage of Sant Ramon
At the top, in addition to the hermitage, there is a small square (289 meters high) from which the entire Llobregat delta can be seen.

The hermitage was built between 1885 and 1887. Before its construction, the mountain was known as La Fita, since it was the division of the three bordering municipalities (San Baudilio de Llobregat, San Clemente de Llobregat and Viladecans).

The style of the hermitage is of neo-Romanesque inspiration, it was built by Josep Estruch and Comella in memory of their parents, Eulalia Comella and Ramon Estruch y Ferrer, patrons of the chapel. [1] [2] It consists of three bodies, of which only the central one is properly the church. The interior of the church was destroyed in 1936 at the start of the Civil War.

The hermitage is dedicated to San Ramón Nonato, the patron saint of newborns; in fact, it is still customary for some people to carry votive offerings up to the hermitage and put a candle to Sant Ramón.

The last weekend of August, and to celebrate the day of San Ramón Nonato, a meeting of the three municipalities (San Baudilio-San Clemente-Viladecans) is organized.
