Gurb is a municipality located in the centre of the Plana de Vic, in the county of Osona.
Although Gurb has some urban centres, we can say that this municipality is characterised by having a dispersed population within its municipal boundaries. This dispersion means that heritage elements of great value can be found anywhere in the municipality.
Furthermore, Gurb is a municipality with a markedly rural character. This character makes it easy to find places of great natural beauty in Gurb.
Chapel of Santa Perpètua of Gurb
The chapel of Santa Perpètua of Gurb is located to the east of Sant Bartomeu del Grau, in the municipality of Gurb. From this hermitage you can enjoy good views of the Plana de Vic.
The first documented mention of the chapel of Santa Perpètua of Gurb dates back to 1356. However, nothing remains of the original building. The current building is a reconstruction made between the 17th and 18th centuries.
The chapel of Santa Perpètua of Gurb is small, with a single nave and a flat chancel. Above the main façade there is still a small bell tower with a belfry crowned with a cross.
The entrance door has a semicircular arch. Above the door there is a small porthole, which illuminates the interior of the chapel.
