Church of Sant Pere Desplà

The Viscountcy of Cabrera was a territory which, from a religious point of view, was made up of a number of parishes, each with its own churches and sanctuaries providing religious services to the local community. There were also several monasteries belonging to different religious orders.

The earliest documented evidence of the Church of Sant Pere Desplà appears in the consecration charter of the Parish Church of Sant Quirze d’Arbúcies, dating from 923. Restoration work carried out in 1983 uncovered pre-Romanesque paintings and confirmed that the church was built in two phases. The first phase may date from the 9th or 10th century. The second involved major alterations at the end of the 12th century or the beginning of the 13th century, giving the church its present appearance. It began to fall into decline in the 15th century.
