Barcelona-Girona
The city's origins date back to 79 BC, when Rome was at war with Sertorius. Today, in the city, and especially in the old town, you can see traces of various stages of Girona's history. Like pages from a chronicle, individual buildings tell the history of the city. The Arab baths remember the times of the Moors in Catalonia. The Jewish quarter is a record of the presence of the Jewish community engaged in trade in the city. Monumental churches, in turn, are the result of Christian influence.

What is worth seeing in Girona
Houses on the Onyar River
the undisputed symbol of the city. The colorful facades seem to be suspended in the air above the river.
Agullan’s Palace
one of the most beautiful monuments of the city, which in ancient times was the home of the nobility. The palace, together with the neighboring church of St. Marcin, were the background of several scenes in the film adaptation of the novel “Perfume” by Patrick Suskind.
Cathedral of Our Lady in Girona
the construction of this sacred building lasted several centuries, starting from the 11th century and ending in the 18th century. For this reason, the temple combines elements of the Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque styles.
Basilica of Sant Feliu
one of the most outstanding examples of a building designed in the Catalan Gothic style. Attention is drawn to the reliquary of St. Narcissus, decorated with intricate details, as well as eight Roman sarcophagi placed in the walls.
