Above the village is the 12th century castle of Sant Vicenç, built by Roger Bernat, Count of Foix.The road continues past another medieval bridge, the Pont de la Margineda, to Sant Julia de Lòria (alt. 939 m/3,081ft), from which a narrow road winds its way up to the church of Sant Cerní de Nagol, which has fine Romanesque frescoes. The church of Sant Julià de Lòria has a Romanesque bell-tower, a figure of the Virgin of the same period and a 17th century crucifix.
