The city of Girona, the capital of the province, is only 30 km from the Baix Empordà.

Founded by the Romans, Girona’s old town conserves some of Catalonia’s finest historical remains: medieval walls, Romanesque and Gothic monuments, Baroque buildings and one of Europe’s best-preserved Jewish neighbourhoods.

The new city, well-balanced and dynamic, contains notable works of noucentista architecture and fine examples of contemporary architecture.

The River Onyar divides the city into two parts. Particularly attractive are the façades of the houses overlooking the river: a reflection of the city’s past and present, they offer the visitor a vision of the history, the art and the life of Girona and its people.

We also suggest that you visit the city’s museums, such as the Cinema Museum, the City History Museum, the Art Museum or the Jewish History Museum.
