The Pedra de les Olles or Pedra del Pla dels Forcs is a grouping of large granite stones with more than twenty insculptures in small bowls engraved by humans. It presents insculpted motifs of small bowls, which in other areas is related to the megalithic phenomenon, at a time that should be dated between the middle/late Neolithic and the Chalcolithic, a period in which this type of graphic representations on stone are frequent.
Starting from Sant Celoni there are a road and paths to Olzinelles Valley. It is located to the south of the municipal area of Sant Celoni. Olzinelles is connected to it via the local road BV-5112 and to Vallgorguina through a forest track. At the center of this dispersed settlement, you'll find the Church of Sant Esteve d'Olzinelles, which was documented as early as 1083, although it underwent renovations in the 16th century. The place was mentioned as Vallis Ollofredis in 1179, in 1331 as Castrum Eulofredii or Vallis de Ulzinellis, and in other texts of that time as Oltzinelles, Olzinelles, Ulzinelles, or Otzinelles. The 1360 census recorded nine households in the so-called parish of Aulineles. In 1421, the parish of Olzinelles incorporated that of Vilardell, another dispersed settlement within the present-day municipality of Sant Celoni. The 1553 census already contained the name "parish of Sant Esteve d'Alzinelles."
