Sant Cristòfol de Monteugues is a Romanesque hermitage that is between La Garriga and El Figaró (Vallès Oriental), near Tagamanent and Pla de la Calma. Belongs to the Valls del Figaró farmhouse.
It already existed safely in 1021, when it was documented in writing, and in 1139 it was assigned, as a suffragan church of the parish of Sant Esteve de la Garriga, in the monastery of Santa Maria de l'Estany.
The legend says it was built by Lluís I el Pietós (the son of Charlemagne) when he was going to conquer Barcelona; the emperor would have won a battle with the Saracens in a nearby place (Pla de la Batalla) and in commemoration he built the hermitage.
On the day of Sant Cristòfol (July 10) there was an assembly organized by the owners of the Valls farmhouse to which the hermitage belongs. Cars and horses were blessed by the rector of the town of Figaró, a mass was called and then a sting was made. During the Mass the Glorious Goigs of San Cristóbal were sung.
