The church is so great that, to see good, recommend climbing to San Adjutori, hermitage hill where the castle is also seen. The hermitage of San Adjutori, 623 meters, was completed in 1717, consists of the chapel with a belfry, and the house of the hermits. It was governed by two managers who, together with the collection of alms hermit and popular devotion enabled the chapel will feature a small fund for renovations. In fact, it has undergone several reconstructions throughout the years; the last, in 1989. In 1772 was in such poor condition that the bishop of Vic did close the chapel and down the holy church of Santa Maria, until 1780, when it was finished restoring. The chapel dominates the valley and, therefore, from there you can see an excellent view of the town.
