Girona

The city of Girona is situated in the north of Spain, close to the Pyrenees. The city is partly surrounded by an impressive city wall; the characterful interior is delightful, with pleasant squares, cobbled streets, and a wealth of historical monuments and buildings. Although a city, Girona isn’t hectic and it provides a relaxing environment to do some local sightseeing and there are an excellent choice of restaurants, cafés and shops.

The old city is built on a fortified hill and part of the walled fortifications still exist. The modern cosmopolitan Girona spreads out across the plain alongside.

It has it's own international airport and the city of Barcelona is a 100km distance away.

History & Culture
A regional capital, the city is steeped in a rich history, from the first Iberian occupation, through the Romans, the Holy Roman Empire and in 1809 Napoleon took occupation of the city after a long siege.

In the 12th century the Jewish community was thriving and an important Kabbalistic school was constructed; however in the 14th century the catholic king’s drove them out of the city. The different cultures that have occupied and resided in Girona are evident throughout this beautiful, historic city.

The famous Jewish neighbourhood with its ancient narrow streets, the antique Banys Arabs, the Arabic baths and the Gothic style cathedral all exude the rich history of Girona.

Also worth a visit are The Collegiate Church of San Feliu and the Romanesque-style Benedictine Church of Sant Pere de Galligants.
