The priory of Santa Maria del Vilar is quite hidden at the end of a road in the forest and belongs to the municipality of Villelongue-dels-Monts. Originally there was an Augustinian monastery with a church here, but it was abandoned in the 16th century. The complex then fell into disrepair and was only restored at the beginning of the 21st century on private initiative. Today, this masterpiece of Romanesque architecture is inhabited by a community of Romanian Orthodox nuns. A guided tour, including a small museum, is also possible at limited times.
