Roca Foradada

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Roca Foradada (or Roca Foradada de Can Nadal) is the largest of all the perforated rocks in the Serralada Litoral Park, specifically in the area of Vilanova del Vallès (Vallès Oriental).

Sant Mateu Equestrian Club

Highlight • Structure

The Finca de Can Riera is very large and extends over the entire plain of grassy meadows that go from the hill of Lledó to Sant Mateu (house and hermitage included). It seems that their owners are dedicated to the activity with horses and in many meadows that should have been arable in the past, they are now horse fences.

Hermitage of Sant Mateu del Bosc

Highlight • Religious Site

It is a very simple Romanesque-style hermitage, with a single nave covered with a barrel vault, with a semicircular apse, which has a double-flow window. The nave is very short, which suggests that it was shortened during the restoration,

We must highlight the arrangement of the belfry bell tower, perpendicular to the façade, for its originality. Next to the chapel is the hermit's house.

In the 15th century it was known as San Mateo del Bosque and was property of the Priory of Sant Miquel del Fai.

The chapel has been documented since the year 993. In a pastoral visit from 1498 it is recorded that it is in a ruinous state but it had to be restored shortly after since in the 16th century it had worship again.

In the 16th century restoration, the nave had to be cut off, now quite short in relation to the apse, and with a very simple façade.

On Saint Matthew's Day, its traditional pilgrimage is celebrated.

From the hermitage you can enjoy good views of the Maresme, an area frequented by several hiking and mountain biking routes.
