Story

On the site of Girona, on the way to Gaul, a fortress was built by the Iberians. Under the Romans, the fortified city of Gerund was already located here. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Girona belonged to the Visigoths. In the 715th century, the city was conquered by the Moors, but already in 785 it was recaptured by Charlemagne. The Moorish influence was practically not reflected in its architecture. For several centuries, Girona was a stronghold in the wars against the Moors.

In the 9th century, the city joined Barcelona, ​​retaining its autonomy until the 13th century. In the middle of the 14th century, the county of Girona was granted by the king of Aragon to the heir to the throne. Since then, the title "Prince of Girona" has become official for the future king. In the 14th-16th centuries the city was one of the most important west coast mediterranean sea. Girona had one of the largest Jewish communities in Spain.

Surprisingly, in its long history, Girona survived 25 sieges and was taken 7 times. From the 17th to the 18th century, the city was captured by the French several times.

Buses run every hour to Girona and Barcelona. Also, buses and trains can be reached from some cities in France and Spain. There are direct high speed trains Paris - Barcelona.

Shopping and shopping

Old city Girona mainly contains shops for tourists. Although there is a fairly large selection of stores with well-known brands. On Saturday, a market is held in a park northwest of the city center.

Food and drink

Traditional Girona dishes: small tortillas with bacon, sausages, stew with peas, fried anchovies, hare with chestnuts, mint or thyme soup, cod dishes, Xuixo (similar to a French croissant), fried potato balls with meat. We recommend avoiding popular tourist spots: Rambla de la Libertat and Plaça Independencia. Many cafes and restaurants do not guarantee the quality of food and service.

Attractions

Girona is the sparkling ancient gem of Catalonia. This medieval walled city has a rich cultural and historical heritage from the ancient Romans to the Jews. Historical Center located on the right bank of the Onyar River with colorful houses adjacent to the very bank.

The old city of Girona has two areas surrounded by ancient walls: Força Vella, where the original Roman city was located, founded over 2,000 years ago, and the medieval quarter, which expanded it in the 14th and 15th centuries. These atmospheric historic districts are filled with narrow pedestrian streets and impressive medieval buildings. The first city fortifications of Girona were built by the Romans, strengthened under Charlemagne and in the 14th century. You can not only see the ancient walls of the city, but also walk along them.

The Jewish Quarter or El Call is one of the best preserved in Spain. It's a labyrinth of tiny cobbled alleyways and 12th-15th century stone stairs that you can get lost in. In the Middle Ages, this quarter was an important synagogue and centers for the study of Kabbalists.

The Cathedral or Church of Santa Maria is one of Girona's most impressive sights. The cathedral was built between the 11th and 18th centuries. It is a combination of different architectural styles, including a Romanesque cloister and a Gothic nave, which is the widest in the world. Inside the cathedral is a museum displaying important religious works.

The Onyar River crosses all of Girona and is an integral part of it. The famous colorful houses that cling to the edge of the river have long been a symbol of the city. We recommend visiting the Pont de Pedra arched stone bridge and the Pont de les Peixateries Velles designed by Gustave Eiffel.

Arab baths, in fact, are more like Roman ones. They were built in the 12th century, inspired by ancient Roman baths. These structures worked until the 14th century. The entrance hall, with its central pool and slender decorative columns, is the most impressive.

Sant Pere is a medieval Benedictine monastery, one of the most beautiful examples of Romanesque architecture in all of Catalonia. It was built in the 12th century, but there is evidence that the original structure dates back to the 10th century.

Sant Feliu is an impressive basilica and Girona's first cathedral. The church was founded in the 10th century. It has a Gothic nave and a Baroque façade from the 13th - 18th centuries. The high bell tower was built between the 14th and 16th centuries.

Sant Domenech was built between the 13th and 14th centuries and is one of the first Gothic buildings in Catalonia. It includes a magnificent old church.

Sant Daniel is a medieval monastery built on the outskirts of Girona in a lush green valley. The monastery houses the tomb of Saint Daniel.

Girona's largest park is Devesa. It covers an area of ​​more than 40 hectares and is considered the largest in Catalonia. This is the perfect place for a stroll or even a small picnic.

Museums in Girona

Most interesting museums Girona:

• Archaeological Museum in the monastery of Sant Pere.
• Art Museum in the old Bishop's Palace. Contains collections of art from the Romanesque period to the early 20th century.
• Museum of Jewish History - details the history of Jewish medieval communities in Catalonia and the Kingdom of Aragon from the 9th to the 15th century.
• Historical Museum - artifacts from Antiquity to the present. The museum includes 14 exhibition halls.

Like many others Spanish cities, Girona owes its birth to the Romans. In 75 AD, the legionaries of the Great Empire founded a military fortress, which was later named Gerunda.

At first it seems that the Catalan city of Girona is very ordinary, but later the true face of the city will turn out to be completely different. It is curtained by colorful walls of houses that stretch along the Onyar River. It is thanks to these colorful facades that you can get inside Girona and understand everything connected with its history.

The Jews made Girona a prosperous city. It is thanks to them that this city became famous far beyond the borders of the Iberian Peninsula.

Girona Cathedral- This is the result of a mixture of styles that belong to the XI - XV centuries. From the original Romanesque building, which was built in 1038, only the monastery and some part of the tower have been preserved. All other elements of the cathedral belong to a church project relating to the 15th century.
