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.

Chapel of Sant Medir
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 with a belfry and the entrance door with a semicircular arch, where there is an engraved relief dated 1447 with the images of the Holy Trinity.3 In the year 962, the first documented reference to the hermitage as property of the monastery of San Cucufato and as one of the five parishes of the term. The monks of the monastery had it under their care until the year 1446.4
The popularization of the legend of Saint Medin made the hermitage a destination for pilgrims. In the year 1802 the first pilgrimage of San Medin was held,5 and from 1846 the pilgrims of the Barcelona town of Gracia were added. In July 1936 the hermitage was looted and burned.6
Inside there are some original sketches from the year 1948 of the mural paintings that the local artist Josep Grau-Garriga projected and that were never made.
