Girona is a city of stunning architectural diversity, where medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles blend harmoniously. One of the most iconic landmarks is the Cathedral of Girona, with its wide Gothic nave—the largest of its kind in the world. Perched atop a long staircase, the cathedral offers panoramic views of the city and houses an impressive collection of religious art. Another must-see is the Basilica of Sant Feliu, known for its unique Gothic bell tower and Romanesque origins.
The city’s old town, Barri Vell, is a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets, many of which have remained largely unchanged for centuries. The Jewish Quarter is particularly noteworthy, offering a maze of alleyways and hidden courtyards that evoke the city’s medieval past. Along the River Onyar, visitors can admire the vibrant, colorful houses that have become one of Girona’s most recognizable images, particularly the view from Pont de Pedra (Stone Bridge).
Girona is also home to several museums, such as the Museu d’Història de Girona, which chronicles the city’s extensive history, and the Cinema Museum, dedicated to the art and history of filmmaking. Nature lovers will enjoy a walk along the Passeig de la Muralla, the ancient city walls, which offer breathtaking views of the city and surrounding landscapes.
