Photo of the Cathedral The Cathedral
Built in different styles (11th - 17th century a.d.), it preserves elements of the first Romanesque building (cloister and tower of Charlemagne), and the nave --its most spectacular characteristic-- features with the widest arched span in the world.
Photo of the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants and Chapel of Sant Nicolau
One of the most outstanding groups of Lombard style Romanesque (12th century a.d.) buildings in Catalonia. The capitals of the church and the cloister are its most remarkable features.
Photo of the Collegiate of Sant Feliu The Collegiate of Sant Feliu
Originating in the earliest times of Christianity, a large part of the Romanesque building is still preserved, which was later completed with Gothic naves and structures, and a baroque facade (11th - 17th century a.d.). Eight extraordinary Roman and Paleochristian sepulchres consitute its greatest attraction.
Photo of the interior of the Arab Baths Arab Baths
The structure and some architectural elements of the site remind us of Arab baths, but in reality they are a 12th century Romanesque construction. The frigidarium is covered by a notable annular vault.
Photo fo the Jewish Quarter of Girona The "Call", the Jewish Quarter of Girona
Among the largest and best preserved in Europe, the "Call" --or Jewish Quarter in Catalan-- integrates the Bonastruc ça Porta center and its surroundings, which have gained the most important architectural and urbanistic interest.
Photo of the Houses of river Onyar The Houses of Onyar
Laid out almost entirely in stone, Girona offers spectacular views of porticoed squares and steep alleyways. Its most emblematic sight, however, are the Houses on the Onyar --the river flowing through the city--, painted in bright colors against the impressing background images of Sant Feliu and the Cathedral.
Photo of the stairs and archway of Sant Martí Stairs and Archway of Sant Martí
Girona features numerous beautifully preserved medieval and modern spaces. Squares, steep alleyways and buildings that make up places with an unsurpassed atmosphere and beauty, where it seems that time has stood still for centuries.
Photo of the itinerary on the wall Wall Itinerary
Spectacular stroll along the path running around the ancient walls dating from Charlemagne (9th century a.d.) and early medieval times (14th-15th centuries a.d.) and bordering the historic centre on the east. This is certainly the ideal setting to enjoy spectacular views of the city.
