The historic monastery of Santa Maria del Roure, at the top of the Serra de Tramonts, preserves between its stones the past of Augustinian monks, pilgrimages and miraculous events that made this place one of the most revered in the region. Last month, a long restoration was completed in which the Generalitat and the Diputació de Girona intervened. The canon hopes to now be a point of reference for cultural activities, such as concerts. Some type of concession is also being considered to make it possible to extract a yield to conserve the complex. The Augustinian order settled in this place, where the oldest remains are of a Romanesque church. The Priory of Santa Maria del Roure was born (XIII), which was a monastery and sanctuary. It is protected as a Cultural Property of Local Interest (BCIL).

In the 15th century, due to the war, the church and other buildings of the priory were in a dilapidated state, and subsequently, through alms, it was repaired. A Gothic style church was built on top of the Romanesque church. Ferran del Campo mentions that miraculous events took place there that made it a place of pilgrimage. The image of the Virgin plays a key role in its veneration.
