A basilica planned in 1538 by the clergy and the town council to replace the Romanesque church of Santa María de Villa; its portal bears the date 1543, and Joan Tellet built the porch and the second bay from 1556. The pilgrims' house and hospital, with its viewing gallery, already stood in 1595. The church was burned in 1936, the vault and roofs were rebuilt from 1940, and it has no altarpieces.
