Built between the 11th and 12th centuries, the Canonical Church of Santa Maria de Vilabertran is organized around the trapezoidal cloister, around which the monastic rooms and the church were arranged, except for the abbot's residence, which is located outside the canonical core.

In addition to being one of the best preserved examples of medieval canonical architecture in Catalonia, the Canonical Church of Santa Maria de Vilabertran is a good example of the Augustinian movement of ecclesiastical reform. This movement coincides with the decline of the Benedictine monasteries, and was intended to reinforce the ecclesiastical reorganization of the lands reconquered from Islam.

At the end of the 11th century, the church of Vilabertran participated in an ecclesiastical reform movement that has bequeathed us a Romanesque ensemble, currently the best preserved example of the medieval canons.
