Sant Vicenç Collegiate Church

The canonical/collegiate church of Sant Vicenç, consecrated between 1029 and 1040, is one of the great Romanesque jewels in Catalonia. It has a basilica with three naves headed by a transept adjoined by three semicircular apses. The central nave is dominated by a large chancel with a crypt below. The nave is covered with a semicircular barrel vault. Also included are the mausoleums of the duke Ferran I (around 1539) and the count Joan Ramon Folc I (1668).

On the outside are the preserved remains of a Gothic cloister and a courtyard (14th and 15th Century), around which are the ancillary buildings that constituted part of the abbey and the counts’ palace, and which are today occupied by the Parador de Turisme Ducs de Cardona.
