'''Camprodon''' ({{IPA|ca|kəmpɾuˈðon}}; from ''Camp Rodó'' "Round Field", ultimately from [[Latin]] ''Campus Rotundus'') is a small town in the [[Comarques of Catalonia|comarca]] of [[Ripollès]] in [[Province of Girona|Girona]], [[Catalonia]], Spain, located in the [[Pyrenees]], near the French border.

==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.

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'').
