It is situated within the Ciutadella de Roses, a fortification in the Province of Girona.
In 960, the monastic community received protection Gausfred I, Count of Ampurias and Roussillon.
In 1588, because of a plague epidemic, the monastic houses were abandoned and the monastery was looted.
In 1592, by papal order, it was joined to the monastery of Santa Maria d'Amer.
