The settlement of Camprodon was in 1118, when Ramon Berenguer III allowed the creation 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 New Bridge, built between 1196 and 1226, arches over the Ter River. It was partially rebuilt during the 14th century and restored again in 1930. It is a stone bridge of a single arch that supports an imposing wide path of double gradient united to a solid defensive tower on the edge of town. The bridge is the most emblematic element of Camprodon and has been declared a Historical-Artistic Monument of National Interest.
