Saint Vincent of Cardona Church

The church, which is preceded by a porticoed atrium, has a Latin cross plan with three naves separated by cruciform pillars and topped by semicircular apses, with a non-striking transept. The larger central nave is very tall and covered by a spectacular barrel vault. The two side naves are much narrower, with a groin vault. The presbytery and the central apse are higher, since below there is an interesting crypt.

The decoration of the church, very austere, corresponds to the Lombard Romanesque style.

Highlights

✔ The two tombs attached to the walls of the transept. The largest is the mausoleum of Ferran Joan Ramon Folc Duke of Cardona, in the Renaissance style.
✔ The dome supported by four horns, with a central oculus, which crowns the transept. On the outside it becomes an octagonal lantern tower.
