The foundation of the monastery was made in the Visigothic period. According to an entry in the monastery cloister, that building was destroyed in 1000 by the Arab leader Almançor and was rebuilt in 1018 under the patronage of Ganfried or Ganfei, a French knight who became a saint, deriving its name the name of the village and the monastery
