It is located on the northern slope of La Mola (1,103.3 m), the highest point of the massif, at a distance of about 550 meters from the summit. It is in the pass between the summit of La Mola and the hill of Griera (1,002.4), at the beginning of the Pagès ridge, which forms the backbone of the massif of Sant Llorenç del Munt up to the pass of Eres, southeast of Montcau. It has an elevation of 980.2 m. It is in the municipality of Matadepera, in Vallès Occidental. On the south-west side of the pass where it is located there is the Coma de l'Abella canal and on the north-east side there is the Santa Agnès canal, where the chapel of Santa Agnès is located.
It is a monolith of conglomerate with a carbonate composition formed by two large blocks of about 32 meters high, separated at their base, where they leave a large opening.
It is the scene of one of the most remote traditional legends of Sant Llorenç del Munt, the legend of the dragon of Sant Llorenç. The first ascent was made on February 11, 1923 by members of the Terrassa Hiking Center.
