The Church of Borrassà is the first documented parish in the Diocese of Girona. Its foundation dates back to 817.

Church from the 18th and 19th centuries built in the upper part of the village and overlooking the cliff created by the Fluvià river. Despite having a spectacular viewpoint, the branches and leaves of the trees obstruct the view of the river and, let's be honest, the modern bridge of the NII.

Church

Rural chapel of which we have no news until the year 1338, although the temple was built at the end of the 11th century or the beginning of the 12th century. In the 17th and 18th centuries the temple was renovated and provided with new liturgical furniture, among which an altarpiece with scenes from the life and martyrdom of the titular saint stood out. Unfortunately it disappeared in 1936. The church has a single nave, covered with a pointed vault, of late construction and finished on the east with a semicircular apse. It is covered with a quarter-sphere vault, which starts from a line of impost. The triumphal arch is semicircular and voussoir. It rests on fairly short pillars, which have sculpted imposts. The rest of the temple was renovated in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, as can be seen by the elements used and by the date sculpted on the door of the west wall.

https://costabrava.org/on-anar/comarques/alt-emporda/borrassa/ In the Alt Empordà there are towns that attract visitors from the Girona regions for their peaceful life. Borrassà is one of them, a discreet municipality in the middle of the Empordà plain, despite the great height of the bell tower of the parish church of Sant Andreu, which demands your visit. You may hear this saying from the townspeople: "Borrassà would be good if it weren't for the prior of Lladó". You can rest assured that this character has not been seen around here for several centuries. Borrassà is a municipality in Alt Empordà formed by the towns of Borrassà, Creixell and Vilamorell. Due to its location, in the interior of the Empordà plain, it is an ideal place to enjoy walking or cycling and, due to its peaceful agricultural environment, it is a good place to relax and rest. In addition, there are several points of interest, such as the parish church of Sant Andreu de Borrassà, the Mas Brascó and the chapel of Our Lady of Creixell, as well as the old washer of Borrassà, the grove de Creixell, the source of the Plataner or the Camí dels Pujols. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCe5Kxhfhog

The origin of the monastery is located in a document issued on April 4, 1089 by the lords of Navata through which they returned some of their property to the church. Among them was the church of Santa María. The bishop of Gerona, Berenguer Guifredo, accepted the return and decided to establish a religious community there. The first abbot was Joan, from the monastery of Santa María de Vilabertrán. Joan was in charge of expanding the domains of the monastery, annexing some nearby churches such as Santa María de Ermedás or Sant Cristofol de l'Estela. In the year 1095 he was also entrusted with the direction of Sant Tomàs de Riudeperes near the city of Vich. The community of Lladó was not, however, approved until the issuance of a bull by Pope Calixtus II issued in 1124. Abbot Joan died in 1125 and was buried in Santa María.

It is a basilica-style temple, oriented to the east, with three naves finished with semicircular apses. Internally, the system of columns attached to the pillars is adopted to support the four toral arches. The vault of the central nave is a pointed barrel, higher than the sides, covered with a quarter circle and the apses are covered with a quarter sphere vault. On the outside, the central nave is covered on two sides with Arabic tiles and the sides on a slightly inclined slope. The west facade is centered by the portal where one of the most remarkable sculptural ensembles of the 12th century is represented. This facade follows the arrangement of the naves: the central one is higher than the lateral ones, with three bodies in a horizontal direction. The first with the large portal, the second with an opening and a third, which seems to be an addition to the original structure. In the nave on the right, a pair of battlements have been incorporated that support the bell tower system. . On either side of the door are tombstones set into the wall. The central apse has a double-slit window that is decorated on the outside with a small column on each side. In the south wall there are three windows, two redone when removing the chapel of Sant Lambert and the 18th century sacristy in a recent restoration. Santa Maria de Lladó has been documented since 1089 (the place of Lladó has been since 977), the date of the act of restoration of worship and monastic life by the spouses Adalbert and Alamberga, lords of Navata, and their sons who unjustly withheld that holy place, which had previously been rich and strong. A community could already have existed there in the Visigothic period. The community was established there under the rule of Sant Agustí. In 1124, Pope Calixtus II approved the foundation and statutes of the canonry and confirmed its assets. It is believed that it was during the time of prior Arnau Coll (1136-1196) that the various dependencies of Santa Maria de Lladó were built. In 1186, this prior was accused in Rome of embezzlement of the community's assets, a fact that must have had as background the aforementioned works, since it seems that from that moment on they will continue with much less luxury (unfinished bell towers on the front, nave capitals without ornamentation). Between the years 1982 and 1994, several comprehensive restoration campaigns were carried out in the premises and the space was adapted as an exhibition hall."

Just behind the center of Taravaus there is a small trail that reaches the passage of the Manol River just behind the center. The path crosses a gradient that has created a fluvial terrace around Taravaus.
