From its iconic Plaça Major to the imposing Cathedral of Sant Pere and the Roman Temple, the capital of Osona has witnessed various productions that have successfully captured its essence. These spaces merge fiction with reality, offering a journey through time for cinema and television enthusiasts.
One of Vic's most emblematic locations that has appeared in multiple productions is the Plaça Major. With its wide expanse and surrounded by historic buildings with arcaded arches, this square has been used in several period films. Notably, it featured in the film Pa Negre (Black Bread), directed by Agustí Villaronga in 2010 and based on the novel of the same name by Emili Teixidor.
In the film, which won 9 Goya Awards and 13 Gaudí Awards, Vic's square becomes a crucial location to recreate the rural and somber atmosphere of Francoism in Catalonia.
The majestic Cathedral of Sant Pere de Vic, with its unique blend of architectural styles including Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical, has been a key location for productions seeking religious settings with a distinct medieval feel.
In the television series Isabel, broadcast by RTVE between 2011 and 2014, which narrates the life of Isabel the Catholic, the temple and its surroundings served as settings for numerous scenes. Its interior was the ideal space to recreate the intrigues and religious devotion characteristic of the era.
