The hermitage of Sant Elm is frequently used today as a setting for wedding photos

Its lookout is the most spectacular viewpoint of the Costa Brava, since the view goes from Palamos to Mar de Mar. And it is this perspective, as well as the spectacle of the steep ribs, which led Ferran Agulló to give him his name of Costa Brava, in an article published in 1908 in the newspaper La «de Catalunya. Due to its strategic position on the Sant Feliu coastline, the hermitage served as a fortress of defence from the th century until its destruction in the th century by French troops. And it is under the impetus of the industrialist Pere Rius i Taulet that it was rebuilt in 1923, as part of the project of a garden town of the mountain of Sant Elm. Today, the place frequently serves as a framework for wedding photos.

L'intérêt de cette petite église St Elm réside principalement dans sa situation sur les hauteurs de la ville qui offre un superbe panorama sur la baie.
