[5] The area was already inhabited in prehistoric times, as highlighted by different materials like stone, bone, ceramics, and metal excavated from the Vergerars Cave (or Cova Fonda), which can be dated to the third and second millennia BC, in the Chalcolithic period.

The oldest written documents date back to the beginning of the 11th century, when the area was part of the eastern sector of the Castle of Castellví de la Marca.

[6] Over the last decades, the active population of the village has undergone a significant transformation, with a decrease in those engaged in the primary sector and an increase in industrial and tertiary labor.

Industrial and service activity focuses on traditional crafts and workshops (sawmills, construction, mechanics, carpentry), various factories (paints, caps, fertilizers, swimwear), a furniture showroom, an industrial rabbit slaughterhouse, as well as several restaurants and the establishments that supply them (butchers, bakeries, grocery stores, and bars).

There is also a double-lancet window with a semicircular arch, part of the cornice, and various decorative elements on the facade: embossed castles and various Greek and Maltese crosses.

[8] In the southern sector of the church of Santa Maria stands the Chapel of Sant Crist, built in the early 18th century, in Baroque style.

It is decorated with mural paintings and canvases by the Vallenc painter Pons i Monravà (17th-18th centuries), who was artistically trained in Italy and affiliated with the tenebrist school (Baroque style).

[9] Among the civil buildings, Cal Cadernal stands out, the ancestral home of the Nin family, Salomó traders closely linked to the legend and history of the Holy Christ.

[10] The complex formed by the Town Hall and the old schools is the result of a project by the renowned modernist architect César Martinell.

From oral tradition and hymns, the dramatic text of the Dance was born, written in the mid-century XIX, and has been performed continuously since then.
