The entrance portal has a round arch with voussoirs in the form of padding.

There is evidence of a temple dedicated to Sant Martí since the ninth century, however the original building was probably remodeled in the eleventh century and practically replaced by the current one in the sixteenth century promoted by the establishment of a Jesuit school. It is worth mentioning that, today, with the house abandoned by the Jesuits, its annexed rooms are used to house the activities and rooms of the Seminary of Girona and the Diocesan Archive of Girona.

Santa Maria del Mar

Santa Maria del Mar or Santa Maria dels Masos, formerly Santa Maria del Càrcer, is a hermitage in the municipality of Torroella de Montgrí. It is attached to a farmhouse currently included inside the facilities of a campsite on a plateau on the southern slopes of Torre Moratxa and Tossal Gros. It seems that the toponym "Càrcer" comes from the Celtic root /kar/ or /ker/ which means mountain or peak. Thus, Càrcer indicates the presence of two prominent peaks nearby, such as Torre Moratxa and Rocamaura.
