The city of Girona is situated around 100km north of Barcelona, on the Costa Brava. It is one of the most historic locations in Catalonia and if you’re looking to see more of this beautiful region, then a day trip to Girona is an excellent start. With plenty to discover, from the ancient Roman foundations to the mesmerizing medieval buildings, plus some quirky traditions and colorful ‘casas’, too, a visit to Girona is definitely worthwhile. Here we’ve put together some of the best sights in Girona: Girona Cathedral Also known as the Catedral de Santa María de Girona, the Girona Cathedral was built between the 11th and 18th centuries. This structure is a wonderful display of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque architecture and is one of the top attractions in Girona. The main features include the Baroque façade, the Tower of Charlemagne (the bell tower), and the Door of Apostles, which was finished in a Neo-Gothic design. The characteristic that sets the Girona Cathedral apart from all others is the nave of this amazing building. It is the largest nave in Spain, with a width of almost 23 meters, a height of 34 meters and a length of 50 meters, making it a pretty impressive sight. Watch out for the Tapestry of Creation inside the Cathedral’s museum, too. This 11th century textile masterpiece depicts stories and seasons and the intricacy of the needlework and colors, although now somewhat faded, are truly amazing.

From here you’ll see the Cases de l’Onyar: brightly painted traditional houses that line the river banks.

It is believed that couples who place a lock on this bridge and throw the key into the river are destined to be together forever!
