The Viscountcyof 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. The territory also included several monasteries belonging to different religious orders.
The Church of Santa Maria de Breda was the town’s first parish church. The oldest reference to it appears in the foundation charter of the Benedictine Monastery of Sant Salvador de Breda, dated 1038. In 1835, following the Spanish confiscation laws and the departure of the Benedictine monks, the parish seat was transferred to the large church of the abandoned monastery. The front part of the former Church of Santa Maria was then converted into the Town Hall, while the rest of the building was used successively as the town’s public school, a girls’ school, a warehouse, a courthouse and a bank. Today, the building houses the Town Hall and the Josep Aragay Museum, and preserves some remains of Romanesque wall paintings in its apse.
