  • While touting this cathedral i was struck by how very difficult it must have been to build it. In that century there were no machines just the labour of man and animals

  • We drove down to Girona from Barcelona for a day trip. It was about 1.25hrs from where we were staying. I can't 100% remember where we parked but I believe it was Carrer del Riu Güell, 4 Parking...

  • Girona was originally on my plan, on my way to Barcelona to Marseille, I made a stop for lunch, and the quick lunch turned out to be a whole afternoon leisure. I stayed at the Cathedral of Girona for over 2.5 hours, appreciating its architecture wonder. It has the widest nave of 23 meters for any cathedral in the world. It also collected the tapestry of creation treasure, the 1000 year old tapestry was still having the brightest colors you could imagine, with the design and story behind the tapestry. It is truly a masterpiece collection! The cathedral was very quiet on a Monday afternoon, only less than a dozen people inside. I was a very pleasant surprise visit of the cathedral! 🙏🙏🙏Cheers!😃😃😃
  • This Gothic Cathedral is certainly a sight to behold. Beyond its beauty, it is so rich in history, so be sure to pick up an audio guide on your way in. Entrance is 7 euros, which includes entrance to the basilica as well. The Cathedral has many beautiful and majestic pieces of tapestry draped over its walls, so take your time to enjoy that and the rest of the art displayed throughout the space. Definitely a must-visit during your stay in Girona.
  • Beautiful cathedral! Amazing architecture! It’s located right on top of the hill, so the roof can be seen from far away. It’s surrounded by small cafes, so you could have a drink and enjoy the architecture.
  • One of the most beautiful buildings we have seen and been into… A truly unique atmosphere. Tip: We did not pay for entrance, because we came earlier - around 8:30. But we might be just lucky that it was opened :)
  • One of the most important cathedrals in Europe. a very interesting place that is worth the detour. Not to be missed, the carpet of creation. one of the most beautiful pieces of art you can see. Wonderful
