The church of Santa María de Gallecs, erected in the 12th century, is a Romanesque temple that preserves some pre-Romanesque vestiges. It has a Latin cross plan and a rectangular apse, and originally the bell tower was an extension above the roof of one of the walls of the church and later became a tower.

During the restoration works, Paleo-Christian remains from the 5th or 6th century were found. Located in a suggestive natural area, in its surroundings you can find some farmhouses of architectural interest.
