Sant Medir Hermitage
Highlight • Religious Site
Formerly called San Emeterio, the hermitage is of Romanesque origin, although due to the transformations it has undergone there are hardly any original traces left. It has a rectangular floor plan with a sacristy. Outside there is a bell tower and the entrance door.

Can Jané Farmhouse
Highlight • Restaurant
An inn that welcomed travelers, giving them a place to sleep and a plate of soup and being a point of reference in Collserola for its hospitality.
One of the first unknowns that this farmhouse presents is precisely its name. There are documents that read can Gener or even can Generx, or also as can Jané or can Gener de Sant Medir.
The current owners comment that as far as they know, that is to say, about two hundred years ago, it has always been called can Jané. The mother of the current owner, Maria Coll, comments: “I remember that my grandfather always talked about Can Jané and so did his grandparents. The name January may have come from someone who confused the name with the month. It is also possible that Jané passed to Jané”.
As with all farmhouses, it is difficult to pinpoint when they appear. Regarding Can Jané, there are documents dated 1570 that already mention the farmhouse.
