Among its natural and heritage attractions is the hermitage of San Miguel de la Roca, located on a cliff, and the paleontological site of Incarcal, one of the most important in the Iberian Peninsula. Crespià is also known for its Honey Fair, which dates back to the 19th century when the municipality was an important honey export point, as well as for its walnut plantations.
Historically, in the 19th century, Crespià already had its own town hall and a population of 452 inhabitants. The municipality is described in the "Geographical-statistical-historical dictionary of Spain and its overseas possessions" by Pascual Madoz, highlighting its temperate and healthy climate, its 97 houses, and its parish church dedicated to Santa Eulalia.

Sant Llorenç d'Espinavessa
Highlight • Religious Site
The site of Espinavessa (Spinaversa) is documented from the year 910 although the church of Sant Llorenç is not mentioned until the year 1279. The primitive Romanesque building was replaced by a new temple, built around end of the 18th century, certainly using materials from the previous temple.
It is a temple with a single nave, covered with a barrel vault and lunettes, with side chapels, and topped with a polygonal apse. On the door of the sacristy, inside which is the ossuary of the knight Bernat de Sa Palma, converted into a wash basin, there is the date 1781. Next to the main door of the temple there was a Gothic tombstone of the century XIV.

The baroque facade is the work of the 18th century, according to the inscription on the lintel, and was built into the original. a large building, with a nave with side chapels, an apse with a polygonal plan inside, a cross vault with lowered toral arches and a tile roof on two sides.

Monastery of Santa Maria de Lladó
Highlight • Religious Site
It is a basilica-style temple, oriented to the east, with three naves finished with semicircular apses.
Internally, the system of columns attached to the pillars is adopted to support the four toral arches.
The vault of the central nave is a pointed barrel, higher than the sides, covered with a quarter circle and the apses are covered with a quarter sphere vault. On the outside, the central nave is covered on two sides with Arabic tiles and the sides on a slightly inclined slope.
The west facade is centered by the portal where one of the most remarkable sculptural ensembles of the 12th century is represented.
This facade follows the arrangement of the naves: the central one is higher than the lateral ones, with three bodies in a horizontal direction.
The first with the large portal, the second with an opening and a third, which seems to be an addition to the original structure.
In the nave on the right, a pair of battlements have been incorporated that support the bell tower system. .
On either side of the door are tombstones set into the wall.
The central apse has a double-slit window that is decorated on the outside with a small column on each side.
In the south wall there are three windows, two redone when removing the chapel of Sant Lambert and the 18th century sacristy in a recent restoration.
Santa Maria de Lladó has been documented since 1089 (the place of Lladó has been since 977), the date of the act of restoration of worship and monastic life by the spouses Adalbert and Alamberga, lords of Navata, and their sons who unjustly withheld that holy place, which had previously been rich and strong.
A community could already have existed there in the Visigothic period.
The community was established there under the rule of Sant Agustí.
In 1124, Pope Calixtus II approved the foundation and statutes of the canonry and confirmed its assets.
It is believed that it was during the time of prior Arnau Coll (1136-1196) that the various dependencies of Santa Maria de Lladó were built.
In 1186, this prior was accused in Rome of embezzlement of the community's assets, a fact that must have had as background the aforementioned works, since it seems that from that moment on they will continue with much less luxury (unfinished bell towers on the front, nave capitals without ornamentation).
Between the years 1982 and 1994, several comprehensive restoration campaigns were carried out in the premises and the space was adapted as an exhibition hall."
