Religious building facing west and located at the highest point of the Sobremunt mountain range (957 meters above sea level). It was erected in 1407, under the patronage of Saint Lucia and St. Quiteria.[1] It is surrounded by a stone wall and is accessed through a porch with a rounded vault. Above the portal, there is a stone engraving and the date 1720, the year in which it was completely renovated.[1] The Bell Tower is a tower with a hipped roof and the bell is preserved. The chapel is completely renovated and a large millstone forms the altar. In the left corner there is a body formed by three successive extensions. On the lintel of the portal it reads: SANTA LLUCIA ORA PRO NOBIS YEAR 1718

Santa Llúcia de Sobremunt is located at the north-eastern end of the municipal district, dominating a wide panorama of the Plana de Vic and the Pyrenees. The church, documented in the 14th century, preserves Romanesque remains at the base of the temple. The current church (18th century) has a rectangular floor plan; it consists of a single nave, separated from the presbytery by a grate, and simply decorated in Baroque style. It has a bell tower with a gabled roof, and the west façade consists of a terraced atrium with two large semicircular arch openings (west and south). The access portal is interesting, framed with jambs and a molded stone lintel and has the date 1720, with an ashlar where a cross is inscribed. Above the cross is a rather damaged Gothic ashlar with a scene of the crucifixion, sculpted in bas-relief, in which four characters are distinguished and the crucified Christ, quite mutilated. The hermitage of Santa Llúcia, initially dedicated to Santa Llúcia and Santa Quitèria, was not documented until 1370; the Romanesque remains at the base of the temple, but indicate that either the chapel existed long before or there may have been a military watchtower in this place. The devotion to Santa Quiteria disappeared in modern times, leaving Santa Llúcia, the lawyer of the sight, as the only patron saint. It was formerly known as Santa Llúcia de Dalt in contrast to Santa Llúcia de Baix, located in Taradell, which was the focus of devotion in the southern sector of the Plana de Vic. we; in 1720 it was already done. In 1748 the house of the hermits was extended, attached to the temple. https://turisme.llucanes.cat/visiteu/esglesia-santa-llucia-sobremunt/
