About Girona

Tucked away in the northeastern corner of Spain is the city of Girona. Part of Catalonia, Girona, is the capital of the Girona province. It's an important transport hub thanks to the Girona-Costa Brava Airport, which is popular with travelers looking to visit the Pyrenees and Barcelona.

Girona is an ancient city dating back to the 1st century AD. It was originally a small Iberian settlement before being taken over by the Romans, who named it "Gerunda." Control over Girona changed many times over the centuries, from the Visigoths to the Moors to Charles the Great. Girona was eventually made a Catalan city by Alfonso I the Battler in the 11th century. 

In the modern era, Girona is a popular vacation destination thanks to its beautifully preserved old quarter, unique museums, and postcard-perfect riverside streets.
