It is documented from the 10th century, but the current building was rebuilt in 1574 with a mixture of late Gothic and Renaissance styles. Its portal with reliefs and the large rose window added in 1902 are noteworthy. It is a single-nave church with side chapels and a ribbed vault. It has been restored several times and is protected as part of Catalonia's architectural heritage. What is interesting is that it reflects centuries of local transformations in a single facade.

An ancient watchtower with a Roman base and medieval structure, perched at an altitude of 416 meters, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline and the Vallès region. Built to monitor roads and warn of dangers, it was converted into a hunting lodge in 1906, with the addition of a kitchen and bedrooms. Later, it fell into disrepair, was vandalized, and was restored in 2011. Today, it is open to the public and a popular stop for cyclists due to its strategic location, shade, and natural viewpoint. The base retains Roman ashlar blocks, making it an archaeological rarity in the heart of the mountains.

Perched atop a hill overlooking the Mogent valley, the castle stands as a testament to the passage of time and history in the area. The first documented references date back to the 11th century, but beneath its walls lies the trace of an earlier Roman encampment. It is said that in a corner of the ancient wall, soldiers left "victory marks": small notches carved into the stone after each raid. Today, the restored structure still evokes the watchful energy of the past: you stand on a natural vantage point overlooking human-made borders, ancient paths, and forests that hold secrets.

About 300 meters before reaching the hermitage along the track from Òrrius, on the left, dry stone walls are preserved, the remains of a shelter used by Republican militiamen during the Civil War. It's not signposted, but it's visible if you get off your bike and explore a bit. The surroundings are very peaceful and steeped in history: the hermitage was also used as a temporary shelter.

The Dolmen of Can Boquet, also known as Roca d'en Toni, is a megalithic structure in Catalonia. The name Roca d'en Toni probably comes from the fact that, according to 19th century records, the landowner was called Toni Puig.
