Ermita de Santa Bárbara

Highlight • Religious Site

Great views even though I was in a hurry today. There are many tables and benches to sit on, but I have not seen a fountain and in the attached farmhouse I would say that no one lives there.

Perfect gravel climb to Rocacorba, allowing you to make a nice loop going back down the road. The road is asphalted until Biert then only the very steep parts are concreted to facilitate the climb.

Santa Bárbara is a hermitage known and recognized by all the inhabitants of the plain of Ter such as Cellera, Anglès or Sant Martí Sapresa. Together with PuuigdeFrou they form a ridge line that shows the first mountains of the Guilleries from this northern side of the mountain range with a beautiful Hermitage, currently preserved and full of life, which gives us beautiful views of the area.

The climb is demanding, but once at the top the views compensate for the effort.

The current hermitage of Santa Bárbara is structured in two parts.[1]​ On one side is what would be the two-story shelter covered with a gabled roof with slopes facing the façade. On the ground floor there are three openings, such as two small windows framed by stone posts and covered by a wrought iron lattice. But above all, the lintel portal with a semicircular arch with some medium-sized voussoirs stands out. On the first floor there are two openings of similar typology, that is, rectangular, with a monolithic lintel forming a flat arch, stone pillars and a worked parapet.[1]​ On the other hand, the hermitage itself is arranged, covered with a mixed roof, that is, half with gable slopes on the façade and the other half with a single slope on the façade. On the ground floor, the large voussoir portal with a semicircular arch stands out with some large and very well squared voussoirs.[1]​ As for the first floor, we find a rectangular opening with a monolithic lintel and stone pillars with a stained glass window that reproduces a tree. But in this sector the impressive belfry with a single lowered arch eye stands out especially. Its bell contains a long inscription. On one side it says: "Parish of Sant Martí Sapresa: Hermitage of Santa Bárbara 1952 Laus Deu." And to the other "Friends of Santa Bàrbara 2002: the friends of Santa Bàrbara to the Poble d'Anglès and to all those who venerate this indret".[1]​ The interior of the hermitage is a small chapel with a single nave, with two sections and a chancel and basically supported by two pointed arches with an arrow much more accentuated than the light. The section of the head, where we find the half-round apse, would correspond to the roof on one slope; The middle section would correspond to the bell tower and the foot section is where we find the gabled roof. In this sector we also find two important elements, such as a large quadrangular opening, with a monolithic lintel, stone pillars and a worked parapet, and a colored stained glass window that alludes to the crucifixion. The other would be a stone portal that communicates with the shelter.[1]​ In the section of the head there is a small altar table, as well as a small niche framed in stone that houses an image of Saint Barbara made in Osor following the resin procedure or technique.[1]

At the beginning or end of this section, depending on the direction, in Mas Puig (already touching the road from Canet to Adri) for some time there has been a stationary caravan and some tables to drink or eat a snack contemplating the top of Rocacorba. Typical stop for cyclists, hikers and urbanites with hiking boots.
