Gesta comitum Barcinonensium

The Gesta comitum Barcinonensium et regum Aragoniae ("Deeds of the counts of Barcelona and kings of Aragon") is a Latin chronicle composed in three stages by some monks of Santa Maria de Ripoll and recounting the reigns of the Counts of Barcelona from Wifred I (878–97) to James II (1291–1327), as late as 1299.

Sant Martí de Biure

The church was built sometime around the turn of the tenth century by the inhabitants of the town of Biure, then called Benevivere, who had recently come to the area as part of the attempts at repopulation of the areas recently conquered by the Christian Counts of Barcelona from the Moors.
