(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Girona
Transfer from Barcelona to Girona: 1h and 20 min Time spent in Girona: Approximately 2 hours Girona is crossed by the rivers Ter, Güell, Galligans, and Oñar. It is located 75 meters above sea level. The city is also known because its old town was used as a set for some episodes of "Game of Thrones." Its old town is delimited by the Paseo de la Muralla, the coastal walkway of the old Carolingian walls (9th Century) and the late Middle Ages (14th and 15th Centuries). Its most memorable monuments include El Call, one of the best preserved old Jewish quarters in Spain, as well as the colorful Casas del Oñar, situated on the banks of the river Oñar and very close to the Cathedral of Santa Maria, which has the widest Gothic nave in the world.
Girona Cathedral
The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Girona, built between the 9th and the 18th Centuries, includes three main architectural styles: Romanesque, Gothic and Barroque. Its cloister is Romanesque, with interesting decorated capitals. Its wide Gothic nave stands out for being the widest Gothic nave and the second widest in the world, just after Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. To access the temple, there is a majestic staircase built in the time of Bishop Pontich, between 1686 and 1699, with ninety steps, divided in three sections, and a stone balustrade on its sides. The Cathedral's main facade is Baroque.
The old town of Girona, the heart of the Roman city of Gerunda, contains the most relevant artistic heritage of the city. It's limited by immense traces of the old wall, which can be traversed by the Paseo Arqueológico (Archeological Walk), which has a beautiful lookout over the city. In addition to civil buildings such as the House of the Archdeacon and the Episcopal Palace, the old town also has important religious buildings. For instance, the Romanesque Monastery of San Pedro de Galligans, the Chapel of San Nicolás, or the Basilica of San Félix, with its slender and singular gothic tower truncated by a lightning. In the square of the cathedral, we can also find relevant monuments like the Casa Pastors, a Renaissance building that today works as the courthouse, and the Pia Almoina.
