Girona is the capital of the county Girones (territorial, cultural and administrative Spanish division) and has more than 100,000 inhabitants.

Girona’s limestone formed of nummulites (small fossil) gives to the city the ocher gray color (stairs and buildings typical of the old city, as the Cathedral, Sant Feliu church were built with this stone).

Girona was strategically placed as a gateway city on the Roman road, the Via Augusta. It has passed from the hands of the Romans to the Visigoths and then it was under the Arab yoke to finally be delivered to Charlemagne, because of this, Girona is considered a land of miscegenation. A large Jewish community in the late ninth century came subsequently to settle including the famous Jueu call (one of the largest and best preserved European Jewish neighborhoods). The museum that is currently here gives you an overview of their presence.

One of the biggest attractions of Girona is also the fortress wall which was surrounding the old city and was used for protection during the middle ages. Today you can experience a stroll down the wall and don’t forget your camera because amazing views are awaiting for you there!
