Description
The Cathedral in Vich is entered by a small doorway on the north side. The nave with its flanking aisles is in a massive, heavy Baroque style. The walls above the side chapels, the inner surface of the west front and the apse are covered with monumental wall paintings (1926-30) by José (Catalan Josep) María Sert, which reflect something of the spirit of their Baroque models. In a chapel closed by a grille in the north aisle, near the entrance, is a silver sarcophagus (18th century) containing the remains of a local saint, San Bernardo Calvo (Catalan Bernat Calbó).
