History
The town first appears in written documentation in the year 1117. In 1240, King James I of Aragon granted the land to Pere de Breda, though by 1309, it was once again a possession of the crown.

The municipality's parochial church, in the
baroque altar and other neoclassical

The municipality has several other extant churches, including the Church of the Santa Creu, and, notably, the Church of Sant Quintí. This barrel-vaulted structure had its 11th century reliquary removed to the Diocesan Museum of Solsona.
