Things To Do
Walking through Girona is a whole discovery in itself with streets large and small to get lost in. It has always been an open city, as is clear from the different historical remnants that can be found: whether they be Romanesque or Gothic, Jewish or of Muslim origin. The Call, or former Jewish quarter which flourished from the 9th to the 15th centuries, still preserves the magic of its narrow inter-crossing alleys, with the Bonastruc ca Porta Centre as the undeniable center of interest. The Call merges into the rest of the Old Town, with its sites full of history and its Cathedral (14th- 17th centuries), a spectacular building with the widest Gothic nave in the world (nearly 23 meters across). The city has sites of great beauty: the houses on the Onyar, the city wall with its magnificent views, the Arab Baths, the Romanesque monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants, the Gothic former collegiate church of Sant Feliu. All of these are almost compulsory places to visit as you come across them while losing yourself under the spell of the city's charm.
