Hermitage of Saint Climent

Highlight • Religious Site

Built in 1673, it is a rectangular building with a semicircular head. It is said of Sant Climent, a water lawyer, because at that time there was a lack of water in Sant Jeroni.

Monastery of Sant Jeroni de la Murtra

Highlight • Religious Site

Don't forget to fill your canteen at the monastery's fountain. This place was the scene of an exceptional historical event: in April 1493, after returning from his first voyage to America, Christopher Columbus was received here by the Catholic Monarchs. It's hard to imagine that this quiet monastery, hidden in the Serralada de Marina, was for a few days at the center of one of the events that would change world history. Who knows if more than 500 years ago Columbus himself also stopped to drink water at this spot.

Ca l'Alemany

Highlight • Historical Site

Ca l'Alemany is an old farmhouse in the Canyet de Badalona neighborhood, located in the Betlem or San Jeroni valley, near the Turó de Montigalà, halfway between the city, marked by the B-20, and the Sant Jeroni de la Murtra monastery.

Currently only ruins remain, the best preserved part of which are the laundry room in the courtyard and the arches that accompany it. Despite its status, it is currently protected as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest.

An archaeological excavation confirmed the presence of a previous Roman villa, which would later have given way to the farmhouse. Despite its state, it is still a characteristic element of the landscape of the Sant Jeroni valley.
