Why Girona Is Worth a Visit: Here Are the Best Places You Must See
Wall Walk
- The Romans constructed Girona's imperial fortifications, later rebuilt by Charlemagne in the early 800s and then again in the 14th century.
- Following restoration work, they are in good condition today, and you may take a walk along the ramparts around practically the entire ancient quarter.
- Regular watchtowers with stairwells lead to the best vantage locations for viewing Girona's skyline.
- It may feel a little risky where the boardwalk tapers, but with proper walking shoes, you'll be OK, and at intervals, you can drop back down to street level and rest in a shaded garden.
Girona Cathedral
- The view from the bottom of the steps at Plaça de la Catedral up to this almost-monolithic edifice and its baroque facade is one of the most beautiful in the city.
- The cathedral's architecture is a mix of styles from several eras: The basic layout is gothic; in fact, it features the world's widest Gothic nave and the second largest after St.The Basilica of St. Peter.
- The old belltower with its narrow twin arches and the cloister, both from the 1100s, are examples of early romanesque flourishes.
- The Tapestry of Creation, which dates from the 1000s and is equivalent in historical significance to the Bayeux Tapestry, is a must-see in the museum.
El Call
- Considering that the Catholic Monarchs exiled Spain's Jews at the end of the 15th century, it's incredible that so much of Girona's Jewish Quarter has survived.
- This ghetto was founded in the 1100s and grew over the next 300 years to become one of Spain's most significant.
- Girona had one of the most famous Kabbalistic schools in mediaeval Europe, where a few critical Jewish intellectuals and poets thrived.
- With stone walls and crevasse-like passageways with stairways and secret gardens, it's a beautiful spot.
- Stop into the Museum of Jewish History in Girona to learn more about the city's long-standing Jewish community.
