About Girona

Girona, in Catalonia, is a compact medieval city of stone lanes, a Jewish quarter and coloured houses on the Onyar River, inland from the Costa Brava.

Girona rises on a hill above the Onyar River, with tall coloured houses hanging over the water along the bank, a view photographed from the Eiffel Bridge, built by Gustave Eiffel's workshop. Above them, a stairway of ninety steps climbs to the cathedral, whose single Gothic nave is among the widest in the world. The old city walls can be walked for views over the rooftops.
