==History== The settlement of Camprodon was in 1118, when [[Ramon Berenguer III, Count of Barcelona|Ramon Berenguer III]] allowed the building of a market near the monastery of [[Sant Pere de Camprodon]], which is located in the present-day town. In 1252, Camprodon was granted the title of royal city and left the jurisdiction of the abbot of Sant Pere. [[File:SantPere.jpg|thumb|left| Sant Pere de Camprodon]] [[File:Camprodon.jpg|thumb|left|Pont Nou de Camprodon]] 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.<ref name=banda1984>Banda E and AM Correig (1984). The Catalan earthquake of 2 February 1428.
