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.
