Catalonia
Girona
Girona is a border city whose compact old centre contains Roman and medieval walls, a powerful bishopric, one of Iberia’s best documented Jewish communities, monasteries, industrial-age bridges and nineteenth-century civic space. This guide uses those layers to explain how a fortified Catalan city became a modern regional capital without turning every narrow lane into the same medieval story.
