Abstract
The romanesque cathedral of Vic, built by bishop and abbott Oliba within the first half of 11th century and desappeared in the end of 18th century, had two churches dedicated to St Peter and St Mary. The main church, dedicated to St Peter, featured by a single nave, a wide transept and a crypt-hall under the main altar, possessed seven altars according to the original design. This basic frame was complemented along the 12th and 13th centuryes with the enlargment of the choir and the addition of new altars in order to adapt the space to the needs of the cathedral users, canons and faithful. With these modifications, this old topo-liturgical design was kept in use until around 1400, when the building suffered important structural modifications.
