The castle dates back to the 10th century, but it was converted into a convent at the beginning of the 17th century, when Raimon de Penyafort, who had been born here, was canonized. Raimon de Penyafort was confessor of Pope Gregory IX and King James I. Raimon de Penyafort is the patron saint of jurists.
