Small monastery created to be a Benedictine house and transformed into a canonry, of which only a vestige remains. It is located in the Vall d’Ora, next to the Aigua d’Ora (a tributary of the Cardener), at the foot of the cliffs of the Serra de Busa, in the middle of an area of great natural beauty.
The current church dates from the 12th century and is considered Lombard Romanesque. It consists of a single nave with a Latin cross plan. The nave and the transept are covered with semicircular barrel vaults, of equal height and perpendicular to each other, with three semicircular apses. The plan of the building is of a Greek cross. The opening of a cross-shaped window in one of the walls of the church stands out. The apses are decorated with bands of arches without lintels. The church was declared a cultural asset of national interest.
