Much of Girona's Old Town is on a hill, and the city's cathedral square is no exception - it is sloping. Almost all of it consists of one huge staircase with 90 steps. An excellent backdrop for filming with the cathedral in the background. At the same time, the Gothic cathedral has a clear French influence, but the square is more like an Italian one. There is something similar in Arezzo, Spoleto, Ascoli Piceno... A beautiful place...

Beautiful place with medieval architecture. here it will be interesting for everyone. in recent years, the place has become iconic thanks to the Game of Thrones, but in fact it was one of the most beautiful in Girona even before that.

The Plaça de la Catedral is a public square just in front of and literally below Girona Cathedral. It’s actually quite a small space by the standard of public squares in Spain. It’s kind of rectangular and enclosed by some interesting buildings such as the Portal de Sobreportes, Carrer de la Força, the stairs of the Cathedral of Girona and the Palace of Justice

The stairs is probably the most picturesque part of the square and instantly recognisable to Game of Throne fans. Something I didn’t actually know about, were it not for the hoards of GoT themed tours around Girona that I find bemusing. Regardless, the steps are extraordinary well preserved medieval which are divided elegantly into three sections with wide landings on each. At the top of the steps, there’s amazing views of the public square below and it feels like the balcony of a palatial mansion.

A fantastic landmark to visit in Girona and one that is very popular. It takes quite a bit of patience for the crowds to clear to get a good photo of the steps.

Nice place, hot prices. The architecture is magnificent!
Game of thrones, impressive.
While in Girona, it is must to see place.
Just be aware of the small streets, if you come with car.

The placa itself is very little and somewhat insignificant next to the cathedral but it offers a magnificent viewpoint of the cathedral with its numerous steps! Highly recommended!

As you comb through the old town section of Girona, you will spot this stunning cathedral up in the distance. Absolutely picturesque and now made famous by Game of Thrones.

You can enter straight from the steps and there is a fee to tour the inside. Check the website for prices and hours before you make the trip.

Girona has many stairs, and the square of the Cathedral of Santa Maria was not going to be any different, with stairs on either side of the cathedral. The square is quite small, making the height of the cathedral even more striking, as it rises by continuing the steps.

The area outside the cathedral is nice. The staircase is grand. Getting pictures can be hard because there are a ton of people. But it’s nice.

If you are staying in Girona, go early morning or late evening when it is not crowded with visitors taking pictures. Pretty area with cafes to people watch and enjoy the Cathedral.

This is an excellent area to prepare for your ascent up the staircase into the cathedral. There are several cafes and restaurants to choose from.
