Els dominics fundaren el seu convent l’any 1317 vora la muralla (la “Força dels Predicadors”). A la segona meitat del segle XIV s’edificà el palau comtal, que el comte Pere II va cedir als frares l’any 1401. La reconstrucció del convent als segles XVII-XVIII incorporà una torre de la muralla i altres parts de l’edificació medieval, com la “sala gòtica”. La façana de l’església és d’estil barroc classicitzant, datada l’any 1701. Al seu costat hi ha el claustre, una mena de pati porticat, on s’exposen algunes peces antigues, decoratives i epigràfiques. Avui és on es troba l'ajuntament.

The Dominicans founded their convent in 1317 next to the wall (the "Force of Preachers"). In the second half of the fourteenth century the palace of the counts was built, the count Peter II gave it to the friars in 1401. The reconstruction of the convent in XVII-XVIII incorporated a tower and other parts of the walls of medieval buildings, such as the "Gothic hall." The facade of the church is baroque classicised, dated in 1701. Next to the cloister is a sort of arcaded courtyard, where there are some decorative & epigraphic antiques.
