Girona Museum of Art, Art museum in Palau Episcopal, Girona, Spain.
The Girona Museum of Art occupies the Palau Episcopal and displays works spanning the medieval period to early modernity across several galleries. The collection includes paintings and sculptures from Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque periods.
The museum was established in 1976 using the former Episcopal Palace, whose origins date to the tenth century. The building retains multiple original architectural elements from that early period.
The museum holds important religious artworks, including a ninth-century liturgical ensemble from Sant Pere de Rodes and a fifteenth-century Martyrology of Usuard manuscript. These pieces show the deep spiritual tradition that shaped Girona for centuries.
The museum sits in the old town and is reached via the steep Pujada de la Catedral stairway leading to the building entrance. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and allow time to explore the different levels, as the building spans multiple floors.
The collection includes early Christian tombstones from Empúries and works by regional artists such as Urgell, Vayreda, Rusiñol, Berga, and Bertrana. These artists define the local artistic heritage and show the creativity rooted in the region.

The Costa Brava stretches along the Catalan Mediterranean coast, combining historical monuments with natural landscapes. Girona Cathedral features the widest Gothic nave in the world, while the Salvador Dalí Museum in Figueres houses the largest collection of the surrealist artist's works. The 10th-century monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes sits above the coast overlooking the sea. The Greek and Roman ruins of Empúries document over a thousand years of Mediterranean settlement. Medieval villages such as Pals and Peratallada have preserved their fortified structures and cobbled streets. The Marimurtra Botanical Garden in Blanes displays Mediterranean and exotic plant species along the cliffs. The coastline offers beaches of various sizes, from the wide sandy stretches at Platja d'Aro to small coves tucked between rocks. The Medes Islands form a marine reserve for divers and snorkelers. The coastal path Camí de Ronda connects many towns, passing through pine forests and along clifftops.
