Girona Cathedral

The Gothic cathedral also has a rich art collection. The treasury houses most of the cathedral's art. Visitors can view the Tapestry of the Creation, an 11th or 12th century Romanesque embroidery that depicts the Garden of Eden. The museum also features a display of a king's crown. In addition, the crypt houses a large Jewish collection that traces its history back to the Middle Ages.

The cathedral is a beautiful structure that will become the highlight of your vacation in the city, so feel free to rent a car on bookingauto.com and book an excursion in advance on excurzilla.com to find out all the secrets of this place.

The interior of the cathedral is impressive, and visitors can explore the cloister and the original bell-tower. The building was built between the fourteenth and the eighteenth centuries, and is the seat of the Bishopric of Girona. The Gothic nave is the second largest in the world, after St. Peter's Basilica. The Gothic exterior and interior are also worth exploring. If you enjoy seeing beautiful buildings, Girona Cathedral is the place for you.

The city of Girona is a must-visit for visitors to the region. A quick train from Barcelona is available every 30 minutes, but tickets often sell out. A 3-star hotel with an outdoor pool and restaurant is more economical than the 4-star ones. Most of these hotels have air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Family rooms are available, and the staff speaks English. The hotel also has a restaurant that serves Spanish, Italian, and Mediterranean dishes.

The cathedral has two main parts: the 13th century cloister and the 12th-century cloister. The oldest part of the cathedral is the cloister, which is the oldest part. It is a Gothic building that is decorated with beautiful mosaics and intricate stained-glass windows. The walls of the Cathedral are also adorned with a mosaic of Saint Felix. Its tower is the most ancient part of the cathedral, as it is located on a hill.

The medieval public baths were converted into a nunnery. Today, the cathedral is a museum. The museum houses a collection of works of art. The cloisters are the oldest surviving pieces of medieval fabric. The Tapestry of Creation is a stunning piece of art, measuring 75 feet across. Its cloisters are also home to the ruins of the Saints Daniel monk. The cathedral is a fascinating place to visit and is worth a visit.

There are two main parts of the cathedral. The old force is the Roman foundation. The Medieval Eixample, which has the same foundation as the Roman one, is the city's main street. Both the Old Force and the Medieval Eixample are connected by a narrow passageway. The Old Force parallels the Onyar. The wide pedestrian boulevard is a popular meeting place for locals and visitors.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
