Santa Llogaia del Terri combines a distinctive riverside setting with a multilayered local history. The village lies on the left bank of the Terri, upstream from Sant Andreu and Ravós del Terri. The Terri River flows through Santa Llogaia.

Holiday apartment in Santa Llogaia del Terri between the Terri and local history

An important cultural feature is the parish church of Santa Leocadia, which is also known as Santa Llogaia. It is a single-nave Romanesque church, although it was extensively altered over the centuries. The parish of Santa Llogaia also has a well-documented history reaching far back: it is first documented in 1266. At that time, the prior of Santa Maria de Lledó allowed a member of the community to establish a mill.

Roman traces and archaeological museums

The history of Santa Llogaia also includes numerous Roman remains discovered at the end of the 19th century. The finds include roof tiles, walls and ceramic fragments. The most significant Roman find from Santa Llogaia was a dolium discovered in 1892. It is now housed in the Museu Arqueològic de Sant Pere de Galligans. A second dolium found in Santa Llogaia is located in the Museu Arqueològic Comarcal de Banyoles. The two vessels provide concrete points of reference for the archaeological perspective, even though the finds do not necessarily remain at their original discovery site.
