    The Church of Sant Quirze is the most important monument in the area, which brings together different styles and eras in perfect harmony. It has been mentioned since 1042 and preserves the apse, with external decoration of the Lombard type, of a church built between the 11th and 12th centuries. The Roser and Sant Isidre chapels were added to this church between 1590 and 1620, covered with ogive vaults and sculpted keystones. Shortly before 1649 the church was extended to the west with a nave that ends with a Renaissance portal and finally between 1762 and 1769 the two side chapels were extended to the west, thus remaining a church with three naves. The bell tower, the work of master builder Joan Bonafacia, which gives slenderness and relief to the whole, was built between 1670 and 1672. It ends with a roof with stone railings which is an excellent viewpoint of the small valley through which 'extends the population, mostly scattered, which is the center of the municipality.

    The ceramic altar by master J. Roig, presided over by an alabaster Virgin Mary, stands out in it, dating back to 1404. The Santíssimo Chapel, built around 1860, has a terracotta bas-relief of the Pietà, work of Frederic Marés, the same one who was the patron of the Sant Quirze and Santa Julita parish.
