Girona Cathedral

Girona's Cathedral is the cathedral of Girona in Catalonia, Spain. The original cathedral was a Romanesque building (S. XI-XII) which was redesigned by Pere Sacoma in 1312. After a few years of dubitation, Guillem Bofill and Antoni Canet start the genial project in 1416. The new design consisted of a big Gothic revival nave, the widest Gothic nave in the world—22.98 m (75.39 ft)—and the second widest nave of all styles after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

From the original Romanesque cathedral (consecrated: September 21, 1038), it has a cloister and tower (called "Torre de Carlemany"), with outstanding relief sculptures. The cathedral also has the Tapís de la Creació (Tapestry of the Creation), a very rare large 11th century tapestry depicting the creation of the world, the months of the year and Biblical characters.

Amazing history. Don’t forget to notice the sarcophagus in the altar.

9am: Artusi, just off the Rambla, does wonderful pastries for breakfast. Walk up Força until you see the 91 stone steps ascending to Girona cathedral (catedraldegirona.org; €7/ £6, free on Sunday).

An incredibly large gothic cathedral. Be sure to check out the treasury, too.
