Ermita de Sant Elm, Baroque hermitage church in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Spain
The Ermita de Sant Elm stands on the summit of Sant Elm mountain, featuring a stone structure with traditional Baroque architectural elements and multiple windows.
The original chapel dates from 1474, but French forces destroyed it in 1695 during the wars between France and Spain, leading to its reconstruction in 1723.
The hermitage maintains an annual festival dedicated to both Sant Elm and the Virgin of Carmen, established in 1726 and continuing through generations.
The site requires a moderate uphill walk through marked paths from Sant Feliu de Guíxols, with visiting hours varying according to seasonal religious services.
From this mountaintop location in 1908, journalist Ferran Agullo named the Girona coastline Costa Brava, commemorated by a stone monument erected in 1963.
