Girona's ancient walls guard a city of contrasts
Girona sits on an ancient route from Iberia to Europe with Roman roads and Napoleonic sieges in its layered history. The medieval old city climbs the Ongar riverbank behind intact walls and towers, while the modern city spreads across the western bank with a 12,000 student university founded in 1446. The Call Jewish quarter, multiple bridges, and the Rambla Llibertat offer a tapestry of architecture, shops, and eateries from 1920s cafes to contemporary design.
