Roman Temple

The Roman Temple, dating back to the beginning of the 1st century, is Vic’s most important historical monument

The Roman Temple remained unknown for centuries since it was surrounded by and formed part of the Castle of Els Montcada, built at the end of the 11^th century. The walls of the Roman Temple formed the interior courtyard of the castle and were recovered in 1882 on the demolition of the old building that had served as the residence of the veguer (chief magistrate) of Vic, as the headquarters of the Cúria Reial (judicial headquarters of the city), as the city granary and as a prison
