Capolat
Barcelona · Cataluña
Capolat (Catalan pronunciation: [kəpuˈlat]) is a municipality in the comarca of Berguedà, Catalonia, Spain. The geography is mountainous, reaching 1500 meters about sea level. The population has always been sparsely settled due to the topography. As in much of the rest of the region, the population peaked in the nineteenth century, and since then has gradually declined.
History
The town sprang up around Capolat Castle home, of the local aristocratic family. Bishop Nantigís of Urgell founded a Benedictine Monastery here on 13 December 899. In 905 the monastery was gifted by Adalaiz, a countess and daughter of Counts Suniari and Richildis, to the monastery of Sant Joan de les Abadesses.
The parish church of Sant Martí de Coforb is first mentioned in the act of consecration of the cathedral of Urgell of 839. The Romanesque church of Sant Serni de Terrers at the northwest of the commune dates to the 13th century.
