In the mid-19th century it belonged to Vilanova de la Muga and had 28 houses; in 2022 it had 11 registered inhabitants. The only evidence of concentrated settlement is the small Romanesque church of Sant Esteve, under whose patronage the place is recorded in historical sources, today part of the municipality of Pedret i Marzà.
Marzà
Village
Marzà is the capital village of the municipality of Pedret i Marzà, in the Alt Empordà comarca, one kilometre from Pedret, with which it was administratively joined between 1846 and 1933. It is watered by the Pedret stream, a tributary of the Muga, and its economy has been based on pig farming and dry farming. The settlement clusters around a square, with the well-preserved remains of its medieval castle, documented since the 13th century, together with stretches of wall and a watchtower. It also preserves the 12th-century Romanesque church of Sant Esteve, and the parish church of Sant Isidre i Sant Antoni, blessed in 1968. The first census of 1936 recorded 185 inhabitants following the separation of the former municipality of Vilanova de la Muga, today part of Peralada.
