Understand
[edit]The history of the town began in the Middle Ages, a few years before the year 1000, when the repopulation of the area began; from this period it is customary to date a roughly carved Romanesque capital near the Old Church that seems to indicate the existence of a small monastery and small church that may have been destroyed in the year 985 due to the raid of Almansor. In the year 1019 the church is mentioned under the invocation of Santa Coloma in a parchment of Ramon Berenguer I
