S.XVIII년의 자료.... 모두를 아프게 했던 천연두 유행 동안 아프지 않았던 유일한 사람을 기리기 위해 지어졌습니다. 에롤라는 아프지 않고 모든 환자를 치료하는 데 헌신한 소녀의 이름입니다. 이 소녀가 한 일이 기적이라고 믿고 이 암자를 지었습니다.... 마라 데 데우 데 라 에롤라. 오늘날 완벽하게 관리되고 깨끗합니다. 에롤라의 이름은..... 의미합니다..... 산 정상에 있는 작은 광장 ⛰️😃

This church was left in the background when the population center moved towards the plain and the coast. It's not that it lost its religious importance, it's that the people left and it stayed. That's why today it has this strange air of a large place for so few people around, like an out-of-place piece that explains the change in the territory better than any sign.

Right on the border between the river and human settlement: it wasn't placed randomly, but on a high, safe point when the Tordera River frequently overflowed. From here, fields and roads could be watched, and that's why the surroundings feel open and strategic. A good place to slow down: the terrain is more inviting for observing the valley than for pedaling hard.

The river here isn't channeled: it expands, dries up, or overflows depending on the season, creating a changing landscape of riparian forest and gravel. It's a great place to understand how a real Mediterranean river works and to ride at a leisurely pace, letting the terrain and surroundings set the rhythm.

Not only did it serve as a watchtower, but it also served as a rapid transmission point between castles and fortified farmhouses in the area, before regular messengers existed. It also acted as a retreat point during episodes of the French War, taking advantage of its elevated and discreet access. The base and part of the walls remain of the construction, enough to understand its strategic function in such a busy historical corridor. The place is quiet and easy to identify on route.

Beyond the usual features, what's interesting is that it wasn't just a parish church, but a key crossroads between isolated farmhouses and forest trails. For centuries it also served as a meeting place for the foresters, who used the porch to exchange warnings about snowfalls, fires, or lost livestock. Inside, remnants of badly worn mural paintings were found, indicating that it was once more important than it appears today. The surrounding area retains that secluded and remote atmosphere that has always characterized Sant Llop.

Amidst ruins and wind, this castle holds a little-known curiosity: on one of its walls, stonemasons' marks in the shape of a cross were found. According to some historians, these are not religious symbols but rather the "signatures" of the workers who were paid per stone laid. They say each mark represented a payment. From the summit, the sea and Montseny seem closer, as if the castle still serves as a lookout, this time not for armies, but for horizons.
