However, the largest expansion occurred between 1781 and 1803, a period in which the temple was remodeled by Josep Moretó i Codina, who gave it its current neoclassical character. The current façade of the cathedral dates from this stage. In 1891, the Episcopal Museum of Vic opened its doors, right in front of the cathedral and above its previous cloister, which included some works initially located in the cathedral. Already in the 20th century, the mural paintings inside by Josep Maria Sert stand out. In 1931 the cathedral was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument, but shortly after, in the first years of the Spanish civil war, the cathedral suffered a fire, which caused part of the building to collapse, and it was restored shortly after.
