The Girona Cathedral is a wonderful visit when in the amazing Barri Vell - the Old Town - of Girona, a city of tiny streets and surprises around each corner. Built over many years, the Cathedral has a vast open interior almost unbroken by columns. Depending on what time of day you visit, the light will always be different. Towards... More

You can turn on the lights at each chapel to get a better view of the statues and paintings. The museum attached has religious relics, one of... More

This Cathedral is stunning. You cannot help but admire the place as you walk up the steps to the front. You will need to go via the visitor centre, and pay, to get inside. We were given the audio headset, in English, complimentary, as part of the entrance fee. It is well worth having the headset if you really want... More
