Curious egg-shaped stone, in which the ancient inhabitants once made a hollow in the stone.

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.

For centuries it was the Sunday getaway of the surrounding villages, and it is said that, on foggy days, the bell tower served as a guide to orientate oneself among the paths of the mountain range. Old meetings and gatherings were held on the esplanade, and you can still see the space where people sat to have breakfast after the climb. The access is direct and sustained, and the arrival offers a clear view of the sea and mountains that explains why Sant Mateu has always been a point of passage and a mandatory stop.

In addition to the spout and the pond, it preserves the old paved landing where, according to the long-time residents, people who went up to the sanctuary stopped to have a drink and “gain strength”. For decades it was a meeting point for hikers and farmers, and it was said that if the spring flowed strongly, a good year of rain would come. The access is short and easy, and the clearing in the surrounding forest still maintains the cool and shady atmosphere of the routes of the past.

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.

The town of “Taliano”, which gave its name and term to the church, is mentioned in 961, and four years later (965) the church “Taliano” is mentioned. The old parish is well documented over time, and it is known that the church was restored after 1330 and 1439 until it was completely rebuilt from 1574. In 1902, the side facade facing the square was restored, the interior of the nave was plastered, the railings of the stands were erected and the large window on the main facade was opened.
