Description
The village appears documented for the first time in 997.
In the year 1100, the current parish was known as Santa Cecilia de Moixons, but since 1150 it changed its name and started to be known as Santa Cecília.
Since 1379, Vic’s barony owned both, the church and the village, and they were prevailed through its laws.
