Sora is a small rural municipality of 225 inhabitants in the Osona comarca, on the boundary with the Ripollès, formed by the main town and the settlements of Cussons and el Serradet, at 716 meters above sea level. Its valley and parish already belonged in the year 906 to the monastery of Sant Joan de les Abadesses, which by 960 had had confirmed the tithes and first fruits of the villae and alods of the territory, among them Duocastella Castle, also called Rocafiguera Castle. When the monastery was dissolved in 1017, the lordship passed to the Count of Barcelona; the castle was sold in 1628 to Lluís Descatllat. It lives from dry farming, livestock and a small industry. It preserves the church of Sant Pere, of Romanesque origin and completed in 1660, and the also Romanesque churches of Sant Joan del Noguer and Sant Pere del Puig.
