A year later, Bernat de Boixadors buys the high and low lordship from Infante John. In the 1496 census, the population had decreased to sixteen families.
During the modern era, Les Piles belonged to the Counts of Savallà, who held possession until the extinction of the baronial domains. In the mid-19th century, Les Piles formed a municipality together with Biure de Gaià.
