Girona

Girona stands at the confluence of four rivers, with medieval walls encircling its old quarter and stone buildings rising along the Onyar River banks.

The Romans established Gerunda as a strategic stronghold in the 1st century BC, constructing defensive walls that underwent modifications through subsequent centuries.

The Jewish quarter, known as El Call, contains narrow stone lanes and courtyards that reflect the medieval period when Jewish communities established their presence.

The Girona-Costa Brava Airport connects the city with European destinations, while high-speed trains link to Barcelona in 38 minutes and Madrid in 3.5 hours.

The cathedral features the widest Gothic nave in the world at 23 meters, surpassing the width of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
