The church in the township of Santa Julià de Boada, located in the municipality of Palau-sator, was built between the 9th and 10th century A.D. and is a rare example of pre-Romanesque architecture in Catalonia.

The building consists of a modestly sized nave and a trapezoidal apse. The nave is divided into two halves by a horseshoe-like arch whose shape is repeated for the arch towering above the clergy entrance. The stark way these precisely, very technically executed arches stand out in the compact space is a defining characteristic of the building.

In 1734, the Santa Julià de Boada church lost its parish status due to the catastrophic state of disrepair. After the adoption of Mendizábal decrees of 1836 that called for the confiscation of ineffectively used lands from the Catholic Church, the church building was used as a stable and a warehouse. In 1982, the building underwent restorations.

Santa Creu de Rodes is an abandoned ancient hamlet next to the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes.

Its population loss began in the 13th century, the time of the conquest of Mallorca in which the hamlet residents took an active part. In the following century, it was the plague that took its toll and then, time itself did the rest—while life continued in the hamlet to some extent for a couple of centuries more, by the end of the 16th century the village had completely died out.

The most well-preserved building in Santa Creu de Rodes is the church of Santa Helena de Rodes, first mentioned in the archives back in 974 A.D. In 1997, the church received a heritage designation and governmental protection as a culturally significant object of national interest.
