Girona is an ancient city in Catalonia with a rich history and a special atmosphere of narrow streets, stone bridges and religious monuments. Roman and medieval traces, Jewish heritage and Catalan culture intertwine here, and each quarter retains its character and mood, attracting those who are looking for something to see thoughtfully and slowly.
Man-made sights of the city are impressive in diversity: the Gustav Eiffel Bridge over the Onyar River and the picturesque bridges connecting the old and new part; the cathedral with its Gothic and Romanesque features; the Church of San Feliu and the Church of St. Philip; the monastery of St. Peter Galligans on the banks of a small river and the famous Old Fortress on the outskirts. Nearby are medieval bridges and fortifications in Besala, the Romanesque church of St. Peter, and in Pubol you can see the castle of Gala Pubol, associated with the history of Salvador Dali. The lowly monuments, such as the Monument to the Man and the Woman, and the cozy houses along Onyar add a special liveliness to the city.
The natural corners of Girona and its surroundings complement the historical heritage: the Onyar River forms picturesque embankments and reflects the colorful facades of the old city, and near you can find quiet groves, small rivers like Rio Galligans near the monastery and picturesque landscapes around Besalu.
