Vic is a medieval cathedral city in Catalonia's Osona region, centered around its stunning Gothic cathedral, the Catedral Metropolitana de Santa Maria, which dominates the Plaza Mayor. The old town's narrow streets radiate from this central square, lined with Renaissance and Baroque facades, particularly along Carrer de la Pau and Carrer Argent. The Museu Episcopal de Vic houses one of Spain's finest collections of Romanesque and Gothic art, while the Plaça de Santa Eulàlia offers a quieter respite with its Romanesque church. The city's weekly market, held in the Plaza Mayor on Tuesdays and Saturdays, has operated for centuries and remains the social and commercial heart of Vic. The surrounding Osona countryside provides easy access to rural Catalan villages, hiking trails, and the nearby Monestir de Santa Maria de l'Estany, a 12th-century monastery.
