Not far from Plaça Llibertat is the old church of Sant Pere from the 12th century. The church belonged to an even older monastery, of which, however, there are no longer any ruins. On the Prat de Sant Pere, the forecourt of the church, there is a small museum showing miniatures. Also worth seeing is the Romanesque Casa de Cornellà, also built in the 12th century.
