Information about Girona
Why Girona? Northern Catalonia’s largest city, Girona is a jewellery box of museums, galleries and Gothic churches, strung around a web of cobbled lanes and medieval walls. Reflections of Modernista mansions shimmer in the Riu Onyar, which separates the gleaming commercial centre on the western bank from the walk-able historic centre on its east. It’s better known for its beautiful display of medieval architecture, the walled Old Quarter and the Roman remains of the Força Vella fortress. Beautifully landscaped gardens line the Passeig Arqueològic, a walkway following the Old Quarter’s medieval walls, which include watchtowers with sweeping views.
