Miro, Count of Barcelona

Miro (926–966) was count of Barcelona, Girona and Ausona from 947, jointly with his brother Borrell II after their father Sunyer retired to monastic life. The brothers divided the work: Borrell handled military and foreign affairs while Miro took charge of domestic government and the city of Barcelona.

He made grants to the monasteries of Sant Cugat del Vallès and Ripoll, and the Rec Comtal canal, which carried water from the Besòs river to the city, is thought to have been built under him. He died at Barcelona in 966.
