Un monument megalític datat entre el final del neolític i l'edat del bronze, considerat un dels jaciments prehistòrics més importants del Maresme.

It is documented from the 10th century, but the current building was rebuilt in 1574 with a mixture of late Gothic and Renaissance styles. Its portal with reliefs and the large rose window added in 1902 are noteworthy. It is a single-nave church with side chapels and a ribbed vault. It has been restored several times and is protected as part of Catalonia's architectural heritage. What is interesting is that it reflects centuries of local transformations in a single facade.

For centuries it was the Sunday getaway of the surrounding villages, and it is said that, on foggy days, the bell tower served as a guide to orientate oneself among the paths of the mountain range. Old meetings and gatherings were held on the esplanade, and you can still see the space where people sat to have breakfast after the climb. The access is direct and sustained, and the arrival offers a clear view of the sea and mountains that explains why Sant Mateu has always been a point of passage and a mandatory stop.

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.

Just before crossing the N-2 highway, there's a bench with unobstructed views of Barcelona on clear days. A great place to stop, breathe, and take it all in. If the sea is rough, you might even see surfers—yes, surfers—because decent waves form in this area. Easy access, no complicated detours. A short break with a visual reward. Highly recommended.

Public drinking fountain in the municipal network with guaranteed sanitation. Good place to fill drums and bladders.

One of the many picturesque spots with a wonderful view (weather dependent).

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.
