    Hiking

    The church has a basilica-like floor plan with three naves, a crossing, and three semicircular apses. The central nave is higher than the side aisles and has a slightly pointed barrel vault. The side aisles, in contrast, have quarter-circle vaults. The main facade of the church features a striking Gothic stained-glass window and a rose window above it. On one of the side walls is the imposing and very well-preserved Romanesque St. Raphael Portal. Inside, it houses the Gothic tomb of Father de Rovira, who brought the relics of the martyr St. Vincent here in the 15th century.

    The Esglesia de Sant Vicenç de Besalú is a Romanesque church in the city of Besalú in Catalonia. Built in the 12th century, it is a remarkable example of Catalan Romanesque architecture.
    The church has a rectangular plan with a cloister and a bell tower. The interior of the church is decorated with beautiful 12th and 13th century frescoes depicting biblical scenes. The frescoes are well preserved and show a remarkable artistic quality.
