Old Quarter

Barri Vell is the name given to the historic centre of Girona, from Gran Via avenue, located on the line of the medieval wall demolished in the 19th century, to the Passeig de la Muralla, town wall walk.

After the image of the houses on the Onyar, what opens up is an architectural legacy blending the brushstrokes of the baroque monumentalism of the Cathedral stairs and the Pujada de Sant Domènec, or the facade and the stairs of the church of Sant Feliu, with the elegant sobriety of the romanesque buildings such as the ancient monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants or the Arab Baths. A constant reference point in the Girona skyline is the Cathedral, with the widest gothic nave in Europe, which rises up beside one of the most singular of urban spaces, El Call, the old Jewish quarter.
