VIC Escape to

Throughout its two-thousand-year history, Vic has been a Roman city (Auso), capital of the mediaeval county of Osona, and home to an extensive and powerful diocese. It is also a university city and a shopping and services centre, which exerts its influence on a large area of Central Catalonia. Vic is a small, calm and comfortable city which has preserved important historical and artistic heritage. The historical centre, which is of mediaeval layout, is home to masterpieces of all architectural styles: a Romanesque temple from the 1 st century , the cathedral’s Romanesque bell tower, its Gothic cloister and the mediaeval defensive walls, as well as the numerous Baroque buildings and outstanding examples of Modernism. The Episcopal Museum of Vic, declared of national interest, has an exceptional collection of mediaeval art on display. ART AND HERITAGE IN A CITY ON A HUMAN SCALE
