 In 1252, Camprodon was granted the title of royal city and left the jurisdiction of the abbot of Sant Pere.The city celebrates the feast day of "Sant Patllari" (Palladius of Embrun), and the church of Santa Maria de Camprodon claims his relics, which lie in a 14th-century reliquary ("arqueta de Sant Patllari").The epicentre of the Catalan earthquake of 1428 that killed hundreds of people was near Camprodon.
