Introduction

An old chapel built by the monks of the San Feliu Monastery in the 18th Century. It was completely renovated by bishop Massalvà between 1781 and 1785. The chapel has approximately 1149 vessanes (1 vessana is 2188 m2), it had its own gozos (religious hymns) and a popular meeting was held there once a year. The disappearance of rural and religious life from these mountains also meant their abandonment. The farmhouse is currently in ruins but you can still easily see the parts of the house, like the kitchen's large chimney and the laundry room with an outside drain. A lot of the external walls and the main walls of the house are still standing.
