Montesquieu Castle together with the surrounding gardens, exemplifies the protected territory of Castle Montesquieu Parc. There is documented evidence from the 13th century, although its origin seems possibly to be determined through a close exploration of a rectangular floor, probably of the 10th and 11th centuries. In the 17th century the Castle underwent some important modifications of extension, internal improvements were made as well as the extension of the northern facade. Major changes of the early 20th century give it today’s appearance.

The Roman Temple is an artistic-historic monument listed as a Cultural Asset of National Interest by the Government of Catalonia.
The temple is located at the highest point of the city of Vic and was built at the turn of the 2nd century AD. However, like almost all monuments dating from antiquity, it ended up being used for other purposes in the Middle Ages and fell into disuse. Its rediscovery in 1882 came as a real surprise. An old house dating from the Middle Ages, which had belonged to the Montcada family, had been built around it.
