Canònica de Santa Maria de Lluçà

Sant Jaume de Frontanyà's canonry originates from an older church dedicated to Sant Jaume, located on a high spot west of the current site. Today, all the monastic buildings have disappeared except for the magnificent church, a single-nave building with a transept where three apses open.

The monastery of Ripoll, along with other monasteries in the area, played a central role in the colonisation and repopulation of the Ripoll valley on the northern slopes of the Pyrenees in the 9th century. The monastery was expropriated during the Spanish confiscation in the 19th century. The complex was restored in 1863 and in 1893 the church of Santa Maria was consecrated again.

There is evidence of the existence of a church in this place since 990, and like others in this territory. The architectural complex of Santa Maria de l'Estany, which was restored in the 19th century, is made up of the church, the cloister and various outbuildings that are located around the latter, where there is now a museum.
