The quaint village of Galliners, located in the region of Catalonia, Spain, is renowned for its association with the Chapel of Sant Baldiri, a structure intrinsically linked to the patron saint of the parish, sharing the same name. An inscription on the door bears testimony to the chapel's renovation in 1709, with the earliest known reference to the chapel dating back to 1639. During pastoral visits, the celebrations and the grand altar adornments held at the chapel were documented. The French installation of a fort on Mount Sant Baldiri further emphasizes the relationship between the chapel and the village, as well as the association with Sant Baldiri. However, the story of Sant Baldiri performing a miraculous deed remains unsubstantiated in the source material.
