Girona Cathedral

Amazing architecture and fascinating place to see with hidden gems around each corner, great to learn the history in a wonderful museum near by.Also lovely cafe's restaurants and ice cream shops

Gerona in northeastern Spain is the second largest city in Catalonia, and the Girona Cathedral is the most famous landmark in the area. It is magnificent and can be seen from anywhere in the old town. At dusk, walk up the steps and look far into the distance. The sunset is very beautiful..

We took the train from Barcelona. It took more than 30 minutes to get there. It took more than 10 minutes to walk from the train station to the town. There is a customer service center after entering. Ask for a map and the customer service staff will mark the recommended tour route for you. The main tourist attraction of Girona Cathedral is very easy to find because it is very high and very beautiful. It is said to be one of the filming locations of Game of Thrones.

In Game of Thrones, many important plots are related to the Sept of Baelor, which is the center of the Seven Gods faith and the seat of the Archbishop. It was blown up in the sixth season. The real body of the Sept is actually Girona Cathedral, which was built in the 14th to 16th centuries and is one of the world's famous Gothic cathedrals. Girona Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church with a Baroque exterior. Standing on the top of the Romanesque bell tower, you can see the whole picture of Girona. In addition to the Baroque style, the interior of the church also includes Romanesque domes and Gothic sculpture patterns, which can be called a classic of church architecture.

Although I am not a fan, I still can't help but come to this Game of Thrones check-in place when I came to Girona. This cathedral has undergone three renovations, each time with a different style, and the overall style is more of a combination of Baroque and Gothic. The entrance to the church is on the side, the ticket is 7 euros, there is a free English guide, but given the language ability, you can visit the courtyard, a small exhibition hall and the interior of the church. It is not gorgeous and beautiful. If you are not very interested in architecture or religious history, I personally recommend not going in. You can always see Game of Thrones fans taking pictures and imitating actions in front of the church, which is quite cute.

A Renaissance-style cathedral with a long history. The entire facade of the cathedral is built with marble or granite, which makes it look particularly thick and solemn. There is also a tall bell tower.
