아르젠토나 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

An ancient watchtower with a Roman base and medieval structure, perched at an altitude of 416 meters, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline and the Vallès region. Built to monitor roads and warn of dangers, it was converted into a hunting lodge in 1906, with the addition of a kitchen and bedrooms. Later, it fell into disrepair, was vandalized, and was restored in 2011. Today, it is open to the public and a popular stop for cyclists due to its strategic location, shade, and natural viewpoint. The base retains Roman ashlar blocks, making it an archaeological rarity in the heart of the mountains.

In addition to the spout and the pond, it preserves the old paved landing where, according to the long-time residents, people who went up to the sanctuary stopped to have a drink and “gain strength”. For decades it was a meeting point for hikers and farmers, and it was said that if the spring flowed strongly, a good year of rain would come. The access is short and easy, and the clearing in the surrounding forest still maintains the cool and shady atmosphere of the routes of the past.

About 300 meters before reaching the hermitage along the track from Òrrius, on the left, dry stone walls are preserved, the remains of a shelter used by Republican militiamen during the Civil War. It's not signposted, but it's visible if you get off your bike and explore a bit. The surroundings are very peaceful and steeped in history: the hermitage was also used as a temporary shelter.
