Messages about the main temple of Vic's diocese dedicated to the Apostle Peter date back to the 9th century, when his building was rebuilt by Bishop Ato . In the first half of the 11th century, under Abbé-Bishop Olib, the cathedral was rebuilt again, becoming the basis for the modern cathedral. Subjected to a series of reconstructions in the following centuries, the present-day Cathedral of Sant Pere de Vic is a mixture of styles, from Romanesque to neoclassical . The bell tower is made in the Romanesque style , the covered gallery in the Gothic style , the chapel of St. Bernard - in the Baroque style . The last time the cathedral was rebuilt and enlarged in the years 1781-1803 in the neoclassical style .
On June 27, 1893, Pope Leo XIII conferred on the cathedral the Apostle Peter the title of minor basilica ^[2] .
