Ermita de Sant Sebastià

The Ermita de Sant Sebastià stands at 770 meters elevation, featuring a single nave structure with a square bell tower containing four semicircular-arched windows.

Built in the 16th century during a plague outbreak, the hermitage became significant in 1705 when local leaders signed a military assistance agreement with England against Philip V.

The site hosts annual commemorations of the Vigatanos Pact, including the lighting of the Flame ceremony on May 7 and traditional community gatherings throughout the year.

The hermitage maintains marked hiking trails for visitors, with a recently paved path constructed in 2014 to improve accessibility to this Cultural Asset of National Interest.

The building serves dual purposes as both a religious sanctuary and a strategic fire observation point, overlooking landscapes from Montseny to the Pyrenees mountains.
