    The hermitage of Sant Nicolau de Puig Castellar, popularly known as Sant Nicolau, is a chapel in the municipal area of L'Ametlla del Vallès, in the Vallès Oriental region.

    It is located on top of a hill near l'Ametlla, about 700 meters to the north, with the bell tower of the parish church in the foreground.

    It is dated in the year 1106.

    Throughout the ages it has been reformed and enlarged, since on the façade of the tramontana corner there are still remains of a small barbican or eaves that shows the low height of its early days.

    They say that for centuries travelers would leave a stone here before crossing the stream, as an offering for a safe journey. Over time, the pile became a small mountain of promises. Every so often, the locals would remove them and start again, but the stones always reappeared. Today, there aren't as many left, but if you look closely, you can still see the trace of that old ritual next to the north wall.

    Small hermitage that is part of the Ametlla del Vallès and that is on top of a hill that bears the same name. From this elevated point you can see beautiful views of the Garriga and the area in general.
