Located 200 metres from the cemetery and one kilometre from the town centre, this is a pre-eleventh century structure. There is no unity of style. It contains engravings by Adrià Gual. Fragments of Roman ceramics, a Constantine coin and diverse sepulchres have been found in the vicinity of this hermitage. It is the oldest hermitage in Lloret, so old that some believe it dates back to the victory of a Roman and Christian general named Quirze. Others believe that the small church was built in Charlemagne's time under the protection of the three wise men. In the IX century it was destroyed by the Arabs and re-built in the X century by a wealthy, religious owner named Quirze.

We know nothing specific about the origins of the hermitage, except that it already existed in the year 1079 since, during the consecration of the old Sant Romà parish that same year, mention is made in indicating its surroundings "Et sic vadit per Ecclesiam Sti. Chirici".

It is possible that parish life in Lloret centred around Sant Quirze prior to the consecration. It is written that the 16th of June is the Saint's Day and so for a time gatherings were held at the hermitage.

The findings around this hermitage may prove the existence of a primitive paleo-Christian church and adjoining necropolis, burned down by the Genoese in the XIV century.

From an observation of the work as it appears today one can deduce that the hermitage has two distinguishable parts, at least at floor level: that pertaining to the former medieval hermitage and which is now occupied by the two sacristies and the high altar, and that which today serves as a nave for the faithful and is located on a lower level. The latter would be the result of an XVIII century extension of the first part which uncovered the original entrance - now walled in - in the southward-facing façade (south-west, to be exact) with a voussoir door, a window on either side, one in its original location - also walled in - and another, perhaps added at a later date, at a higher level. At the bottom of this façade and also on the others in this old part - the walls of which are often made of materials dating from Roman times - clay was still being used to join the stones. The original medieval hermitage is about 4.5 metres wide by 10 long. The eighteenth century extension converted the sanctuary floor into a square-shaped area measuring approximately 10.5 metres along the side.
The Sant Quirze hermitage is thus the oldest in Lloret. In fact, reference was made to it on 8 January 1079 on the occasion of the consecration of Sant Romà (today Les Alegries hermitage), stating 'A meridiei parte similiter terminatur in parrochiae Sti. Ionnis in valle marina et sic vadit per ecclesiam Sti. Chirici'.
