==History==
Last century, near the river Arnera there were found neolitical axe, together with the menhir called La Pedra Dreta. Those findings show that the valley of the Arnera was populated from prehistoric periods. The first documented mention of the place appears in the precept of [[Louis the Pious]] in 814, in which it says that [[Céret]] limits south with ''villam quae dicitur Macanetum''.

In 954 count Guifré II of [[Besalú]] gave to the monastery of Sant Pere of [[Camprodon]] the allodium of Tapis, to build the sanctuary of Les Salines. During the Medium Age it was fortified, and there are still remains of the wall with three covers of the 15th century. In 1440 they added ''de Cabrenys'' to ''Maçanet'', because the village happens to belong to the barony of Cabrenys, a line of the lineage of the Rocabertí. In 1553 the black plague annihilates half of the population. In July 1675 [[lieutenant]]-general Le Bret,<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=7B4umSpJmioC&dq=%22general+le+bret%22&pg=PA106] David Steward: ''Assimilation and acculturation in seventeenth-century Europe: Roussillon and France 1659-1715''</ref> with 1,500 men, plunders the village.

==Economy==
There are many sources, what joined to his climate, attracts a lot of tourism. That is the main source of economic income, together with construction, agriculture and livestock. There is a water bottling plant. There was textile industry, and factories that made cork caps. Now there are a lot of restaurants. There was a big factory of pipes. Now it remains a small workshop. Agriculture, livestock and forest industry have almost disappeared.

==Places of interest==

=== Church of Sant Martí ===

The church of Sant Martí, built in the 12th or 13th century, belongs to the late romanesque. It consists of a single rectangular nave covered by a vault in arc, and a semicircular apse covered by a vault in the form of an almond. The portal is formed by an eardrum cantilever with four arches and an arquivolta. The door, made of wood, has wrought iron details characteristic of that time.

[[Image:Tapis 1.jpg|thumb|''Tapis from the road between Costoja and Maçanet de Cabrenys'']]

Tapis is a hamlet in the municipality of Maçanet de Cabrenys. It is cited for the first time in a document dated 954. In 2005 it had 25 inhabitants.

=== Church of Sant Briç ===

It is a building from the late 12th or early 13th century. From a single nave, two side chapels form transept. The apse, semicircular, with almond-shaped turn, opens onto the shed by means of a double arch. The slenderness of the turn, the proportions, the style and the structure of the capitals of the portal are elements that represented the final stage of Romanesque art.
