MA peaceful corner of the city of Girona.
Bordering France and the Mediterranean Sea, the interwoven influences of French culture and maritime traditions with Spanish culture have painted a captivating picture of Girona.
According to its rich history, Girona has endured 25 sieges and been subjugated seven times by the French Royal Army. The city's defensive walls were demolished in the late 19th century to allow for expansion. In recent years, the walls on the eastern side of the city have been rebuilt, known as de Passeig la Muralla, creating a tourist route around the old city.
Starting with a stroll through this charming little city, like a riverside embankment, you'll encounter the ancient wall that runs along the picturesque Onyar River. The Onyar River has many bridges crossing it – but the most beautiful and most popular among tourists is the Eiffel Bridge, also known as Pont de Ferro.
The Eiffel Bridge's innovative design casts its shadow over the tranquil, enchanting Onyar River.
When you come to Girona, you'll find the air is very fresh and life seems to slow down, not noisy, bustling, or glamorous like the city; but here, you'll find peace and comfort, with friendly people, warm hospitality, and colorful nature.
The oldest church in the city, built by the Moors, is a mosque and today is one of the most important monuments of the Jaume Fabre Majorcan architectural style and a prime example of Spanish Gothic architecture. The church contains the tombs of Ramon Berenger and his wife.
Sant Feliu Church is another church worth seeing and visiting here. With its 14th-century Gothic style, it boasts one of the tallest and oldest spires in Spain.
