This building, in the Romanesque style, was constructed in 1268 in honour of the Virgin Mary and the Holy Virgins, although the advocation of St Lucy is the only one that has been preserved.
The façade, crowned by a bell gable, is in the typical Romanesque style, featuring a doorway with alternating pillars and columns.
The Annunciation and the Visitation are represented on the capitals.
The interior has a straight apse and is covered by a pointed barrel vault.
The holy water font, made of marble, dates from the 14th century.
Situated in a vaulted niche and crowned with a Calvary scene in relief, lies the tomb of the canon Francesc de Santa Coloma, also from the 14th century.
On the façade, at the corner of the street, there is an engraved cana (cane), once an official Catalan unit of length, used by workmen in the past.
