Girona is the city located in the northeast of Catalonia in Spain – the region of Catalonia is commonly associated with Barcelona. Nevertheless, Girona is as beautiful as the capital of the region and its old town is considered as one of the most beautiful in Spain and it is definitely most charming old town of Catalonia. The architecture of the old town features the Arabic influence, which is the reminder of the 2-century Moorish dominance in the region. The Jewish district, which used to function as a separate town within the limits of Girona for 600 years, is perfectly preserved. Visitors who have walked through the labyrinth of narrow streets and would like to see them from the distance, may climb the old city wall from which the beautiful panorama of the old town can be seen.
