history
The term and the parish of Sant Boi are already mentioned in the year 905 in the act of consecration of Santa Maria de Lluçà and it belonged to the lords of Lluçà. The term, however, will be dismembered very soon. Specifically, in 962, Countess Riquilda bequeathed it to the see of Vic. A legacy that did not take effect until 933 when the bishop of Vic made an agreement with the noble Sendret de Gurb and by an exchange, the Bishops of Vic became the lords of the area that included a large part of the area of Perafita.
The term was divided into large properties or rural villas, formed by smaller farms around them. Among the most renowned and which still exist as manor houses we can name the Vilar, Vilarrasa, Viladecans, ...
The bishops of Vic ruled the area through a bishop who used to be the heir of Vilarrassa, whose genealogy is known from the year 1134, when Benet de Vilarrasa was already bishop.
The current population of Sant Boi began to form in the middle of the 16th century, although previously there was already a small nucleus of houses grouped around the church, but they practically disappeared in the 14th century due to the depopulation caused by the Black Plague In 1553 the nucleus had 10 houses, in 1626 the parish census had 86 houses with a total of 518 inhabitants. In 1782 there were 180 houses and 800 inhabitants, reaching a maximum of 1043 people in 1860. Currently the population census is 532 people.

Santa Eulàlia de Puig-Oriol
Highlight • Settlement
The town grew from the first constructions in the 18th century, due to the importance of the transhumance route that connected Sant Feliu Sasserra with Alpens. In many of its houses built between the 18th and 19th centuries you can still read the inscriptions and dates engraved in the stone. At the northern end of the town there is a small parish church in the popular baroque style.

Vila-rasa Reservoirs
Highlight • Lake
These are two small swamps. The largest, rounded and located to the northwest of the smaller, occupies an approximate area of 1.2 hectares and has a perimeter greater than 400 meters. The minor has an elongated shape, is located at a lower level than the major (approximately 8 meters) and occupies an area of approximately 2300 square meters, with an approximate perimeter of 200 meters.
The two swamps are surrounded by slopes covered with pines, reaching in several areas close to the swamps. Due to their status as a wetland, the two swamps are home to numerous species of animals, especially birds.
