The village was the smallest municipality in Catalonia in terms of population but in 2018 lost the title to Gisclareny after the village grew.[1] The monumental Romanesque church of Sant Jaume is a protected historic-artistic monument from the 11th century. The village is served by a local road to Borredà and it is well known for its peace and tranquility.
