The monks administered the population since the expulsion of the Moorish, and under its dominion the first urban centre “la Plaça” was created, which only had one access to be able to close at night and protect the inhabitants from the wolves.

Still la Nevera (the Fridge) is conserved, where the snow of the winter was kept to be able to have ice in summer
