The Augustinian canonical church of Santa Maria d'Ullà was founded in 1121 by Pere Vidal near the bank of the Ter, south of the current town of the same name. At that time the place was exposed to piracy due to its proximity to the sea. In fact, in 1178 it was looted in an attack by pirates who killed some canons and took others as slaves. Furthermore, the place was exposed to the floods of the Ter and at the end of that century the house had been covered in sand.

A new church was then built on top of the previous one, which was consecrated in 1182, while its possessions were confirmed, especially nearby parish churches. The canonical church was secularized in 1592 and continued its activity as a regular collegiate church. In 1804 the canons moved to the new church located on an elevated place in the center of the town, the current parish church, which preserves a Romanesque image known as Virgen de la Fossa. Some remains of the old superimposed churches are preserved to the south of the town, although they are not visible.
