Guided Visit to the Church of Santa Eugènia de Berga

Don't miss the guided tours of the church of Santa Eugènia de Berga every second Sunday of the month!

Built in the 11th century, it is Romanesque in style. It was enlarged during the 12th century, and subsequent renovations in 1664 modified its layout with the creation of two side naves. During the 1955 restoration, the chapels were demolished to return it to its original structure.

It has a Latin cross plan with a single nave covered with a barrel vault, topped by a transept with three semicircular apses, whose altars are dedicated to Saint Cecilia (the one on the left), Saint Eugenia (the central one) and Saint James (the one on the right). At the intersection of the nave and the transept rises a dome on squinches, forming a dome on the exterior, with an octagonal base, above which rises a two-story bell tower with double windows in the first section and triple windows in the second.

The entrance portal on the western façade stands out, with archivolts decorated with plant motifs and two pairs of capitals, also sculpted.

The Episcopal Museum of Vic houses remains of mural paintings and two Romanesque labiate archives from this temple.
