Mare de Déu del Mont

Mare de Déu del Mont reaches an elevation of 1,125 meters and features a composition of sandstone and limestone, creating distinct geological formations in the Pre-Pyrenees.

The mountain housed a Benedictine monastery called Sant Llorenç del Mont, which later transformed into the Mare de Déu del Mont sanctuary during the 14th century.

The summit contains a religious sanctuary that serves as a gathering point for local communities and represents an essential part of the regional heritage.

Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit, offering different difficulty levels for visitors who want to explore the natural landscape.

Scientists used this peak in the late 18th century for meridian measurements that contributed to determining the standard length of the meter.
