The village is located on a 100 metre high hill, with a small nucleus of 18th-century houses around the main square and near the church of St Vincent, which is documented since the 11th century and was rebuilt in the 18th century. The location of the village gives good views over Coma-ruga.
In the second half of the 19th century, the railway arrived in the area, in the shape of the lines from Barcelona to Tarragona via Martorell, and Barcelona to Valls via Vilanova i la Geltrú. The two lines met 3 km (2 mi) from the village of Sant Vicenç itself, and around the station grew the barri de l'estació (station district).
