Sant Martí Sacosta és una església d'estil barroc al Barri Vell de Girona. Hi ha constància d'un temple dedicat a Sant Martí des del segle ix, tanmateix l'edifici original fou probablement remodelat al s. XI i pràcticament substituït per l'actual al s. XVI promoguda per l'establiment d'un col·legi jesuïta. Val a dir que, avui dia, abandonada la casa pels jesuïtes les seves dependències annexes són usades per a allotjar les activitats i dependències pròpies del Seminari de Girona i l'Arxiu Diocesà de Girona.

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.
