In the quaint municipality of Borreda, nestled within the heart of Catalonia, stands the church of Sant Benet de Vilaplana, formerly known as Sant Benet de Casamitjana. This architectural treasure can be traced back to the 15th century, with records documenting its existence as early as 1417. Preserved and cataloged by the Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya, the remnants of its original grandeur now exist as whispers from the past. Despite the erosion of time, the allure of Sant Benet's history continues to captivate. Although the original entryway, Porta d'entrada, has been concealed, the current entrance, situated on the southern side, welcomes you to delve into the secrets hidden within.
