The Plaça Major and the Cathedral of Sant Pere in Vic, Osona, have been immortalized in the history of cinema and television due to their rich architectural heritage.

With its unmistakable medieval atmosphere and cultural heritage, Vic is a treasure for filmmakers seeking historically charged settings, ensuring that the capital of Osona serves as the backdrop for numerous productions.
One of the most emblematic locations in Vic is the Plaça Major. Its appearance in the film Pa Negre (2010) stands out, directed by Agustí Villaronga and based on the novel by Emili Teixidor.
In the film, winner of 9 Goya and 13 Gaudí awards, the square becomes a crucial location for recreating the somber, rural atmosphere of Francoism in Catalonia.
The imposing Cathedral of Sant Pere de Vic, with its mix of architectural styles (Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical), was a key location for the television series Isabel.
The series, broadcast on RTVE between 2011 and 2014, narrates the life of Isabel I of Castile. The temple and its surroundings served as settings to recreate the intrigues and religious devotion of the era.
