The Roman temple of Vic is located in the upper area of the city of Vic, on Padre Xifré street, in the heart of the Osona region (Catalonia).

The building was built at the beginning of the 2nd century, the golden age of the Roman Empire. The temples were a basic piece of every Roman city, even so, the whereabouts of this specific one were unknown until the late date of 1882. In the 11th century, the temple was literally covered by the structure of the Moncada Castle, later It became the residence of the Veguers and finally, the Vic prison. It was not until 1882, during the demolition procedures of the old castle, when the workers sighted with amazement a Corinthian capital.

Despite the multiple uses that the place had, the condition of the temple is outstanding. The columned portico rises above the podium, where it is accessed by a front staircase. The columns are smooth, with the Corinthian capitals and entablature crowning the cella. The building is a historicist reconstruction from the 19th century, idealized in the model of the only two remains that remained of the original: a Corinthian capital and a column shaft, as well as the walls of the cella that survived as part of the old Montcada palace. .

The Roman temple of Vic dates from the beginning of the 2nd century, from the imperial period. The unusual thing about this construction, in an almost perfect state of preservation, is that for centuries it remained hidden by other buildings and it was not until the 19th century that it was rediscovered in all its splendor.
