Girona Tours and Attractions

• Banys Arabs :These 12th-century Arab baths, an example of Romanesque civic architecture, are in the old quarter of the city. Visit the caldarium (hot bath), with its paved floor, and the frigidarium (cold bath), with its central octagonal pool surrounded by pillars that support a prism-like structure in the overhead window. Although the Moorish baths were heavily restored in 1929, they give you an idea of what the ancient ones were like.
• Museu Arqueològic : Housed in a Romanesque church and cloister from the 11th and 12th centuries, this museum illustrates the history of the country from the Paleolithic to the Visigothic periods, using artifacts discovered in nearby excavations. The monastery itself ranks as one of the best examples of Catalán Romanesque architecture. In the cloister, note some Hebrew inscriptions from gravestones of the old Jewish cemetery.
