One of the most historic sites in Spain, Girona lies in northeast Catalonia, just 99 km (62 mi) from Barcelona. Founded by Romans, the city later was taken over by Moors and Franks before finally falling under the rule of Barcelona. Influenced by different cultures and religions, the city beckons visitors with beautiful architecture. The Old and New Town offer many opportunities to pleasurably get lost and observe local life and culture.

Standing close to the Cathedral makes it easy to visit both Churches. The Church of Sant Feliu was the main Church of Girona before the construction of the Cathedral. It is noted for its eight Roman and early Christian sarcophagi of the 3rd and 4th centuries and the Gothic Tomb of Narcissus of Girona who traditionally was one of the early Bishops. It is much smaller than the Cathedral but nevertheless worth a visit and has a nice atmosphere and lovely stained-glass windows.
