Did you know that Girona has more than 2,000 years of history? Although the Iberians were the first to settle in this territory, the Romans founded the city of Gerunda in 77 B.C. Their opposition to the Muslim occupation, centuries later, caused the expansion of the Jewish community in the city and had a great importance in shaping the later Catalonia.
Of course, in addition to monuments and sites of historical relevance Girona has many other attractions. One of them is its excellent climate. With average temperatures of around 15°C, visitors can enjoy its Barri Vell and its unique architecture. Special mention should be made of its Carolingian walls, its Cathedral and its exceptional Jewish quarter.
