Despite the name and the presence of Moorish architecture, the Arab Baths are housed in a breathtaking Romanesque building from the 1100’s inspired by Roman public baths. The highlight is the Apodyterium, a fantastically preserved room with an impressive octagonal swimming pool in the centre.
Do & See
Girona is above all a city to be walked. The medieval beauty of the Old Quarter, with its winding cobblestone alleys, pleasant plazas and the unique facades hanging over the River Onyar, is compact enough to explore in depth on foot, and beautiful enough to keep you wandering in circles for days. But don't miss the chance to visit some of the wonderful museums and local attractions, including skiing, ancient monasteries and the unmissable Costa Brava.
