| BESCHREIBUNG DER AUSFLÜGE |
| Your first stop is the historical city of Girona. The houses situated at the very edge of the Onyar river and the bridges which span it, are no doubt one of the most authentic and spectacular sights of Girona. While here, you will visit the impressive Cathedral whose location has been a place of worship since the Roman occupation. It was founded in 1038, however most of the present building dates from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, therefore it's the result of various superimposed styles; Romantic and Gothic. The interior contains numerous works of art, Gothic tombs and baroque altar paintings. The renowned Tapestry of the Creation (XIth Century), The Beatus (Xth Century) and a rich collection of medieval gold and silver works are exhibited in the Capitular Museum. The steep narrow street housed the Jewish community of Girona in medieval times.
Explore the Arabian baths, Romanic building inspired by the Roman public baths with three rooms, each with a different temperature of water in their swimming pools. In spite of the presence of elements of Muslim origin, the construction corresponds to Romanesque.
After your visit we continue to Figueres for lunch and visit the whimsical Dali Museum. |
