Village · Porqueres, Pla de l'Estany, Girona

Usall is a population entity of the municipality of Porqueres, in the Pla de l'Estany (Girona), situated above the Estany de Banyoles, at 225 metres of altitude. It was an independent local entity, under the batllia of Banyoles and the lordship of the Monestir de Banyoles, until the abolition of the seigneurial regime in the first third of the 19th century; in 1846 it joined the municipality of Porqueres together with other villages. It now has 93 inhabitants. It preserves the church of Sant Cristòfol, in Romanesque style and joined to the rectory, the masia of Gothic origin of Can Traver, and, near Melianta, the site and intermittent pond of the Clot d'Espolla.
