Besalú began to gain importance as the capital of an independent county following the death of Guifré el Pilós (902); It lost this status with the death of Bernat III- son-in-law of Ramon Berenguer III- leaving no survivors. As a result, Besalú became part of Barcelona. In 1966, it was declared a "National Historic-Artistic Ensemble" due to its high architectural value.
