Of the Benedictine monastery there only remains the church, notable for its grandiosity. It was founded in 977 by Count- Bishop Miró and consecrated in 1003 by the most important count in the history of our county, Bernat I, known as ‶Tallaferro”.
The Benedictine community was initially made up of twelve monks, and in 1111, the year when the county was abolished; the abbot became the town’s highest authority. The monastery enjoyed great political influence during the 12th and 13th centuries.
The façade of Sant Pere has a unique large window where two lions symbols of the strength, power and protection offered by the church can be seen opposite evil and paganism, represented by a monkey and a man. People were protected from evil once they entered the church.
