The parish church is of Romanesque construction from the 11th century, although a precept of King Charles the Simple from the year 899 mentions an initial temple dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint John. During the 17th and 18th centuries, there were reforms that mainly affected the entrance door and the side chapels, which were joined to the original structure.
Ullastret Castle, a stronghold dating back to the 13th century, has seen numerous territorial disputes and transitions of ownership. Initially acquired by Count Ramon Borrell of Barcelona, it underwent a series of exchanges, including hosting King James II of Catalonia-Aragon during a succession conflict. Through the centuries, the castle changed hands among families like Sant Feliu, Margarit, and Senesterra. This historic site offers a window into Catalonia's intricate heritage and medieval legacy.
The Iberian city of Ullastret, located on the Puig de Sant Andreu, is the largest urban center of Iberian culture discovered so far in Catalonia. It is situated in the territory that ancient authors assigned to the Iberian tribe of the Indigetes.
