Documented for the first time in 962, it was listed as a monastic house dependent on the Ripoll monastery and since the 12th century it had housed a community of Benedictines. Practically nothing remains of the primitive Romanesque church, since in 1541 a mob of Frenchmen burned down the town, leaving the monastic house and the church collapsed. The church was rebuilt in 1567, becoming the property of the Barcelona Cathedral. In the following years he carried out various renovations, including the addition of an altarpiece by the Milanese painter Joan Baptista Toscano and various images by the Catalan baroque artist Agustí Pujol. In successive centuries the church was expanded and in the 1950s, after the damage suffered during the civil war, the sgraffito exterior that can be seen today was painted.

This fountain is located on a road very frequented by road cyclists, since it is located in a section whose passage is mandatory if you go to or come from Sant Quintí de Mediona, Canaletes, Sant Joan de Mediona or Capellades. The water that flows from the pipe is very fresh and tastes good, and it is not uncommon to find people filling jugs. If you politely ask to be able to fill your drum, you can skip the "turn" and thus continue your route well supplied with water.
