CHURCH AND CONVENT OF THE CARMES
In front of the Mint Hotel, the old convent of the Carmelites was erected in Vic in 1675. The mention Stadthaus in the main facade reminds us of the German period. In 1733, they formed the classic facade of their church. As a result, the whole occupied the function of military building, before being bought by the city. In 1875, the church was used as a covered market. The convent, in turn, occupied many functions! First prison and then dance room, it was used as abattoirs before becoming the gendarmerie's premises! Today, it houses the town hall and the so-called Tribunal Hall, where meetings of the municipal council are held. Each summer you can admire exhibitions of contemporary regional artists. As for the old church, it is used as a festive room, but also serves as a centre for cultural animation.
