Animal and Insect

#bucketlistreboot There is one animal and one insect that are very famous in Girona, that is a lioness and a flies. La Lleona is a lioness statue located at 17004 Girona, in front of Basilica de Saint Feliu. Originally the stone sculpture was found in the 11th century. The original lioness is in the art of the Museum, today you see in the sky is a replica set. Second is the Girona local hero flies, the site located at Carrer de les Mosques, 1, 3, 17004 Girona. Because in 1286, the neighboring French had broken into Girona, sacking anything they could find along the narrow street, they made a mistake they entered the church of Sant Felix and tore open the tomb of Sant Narcis, suddenly a swarm of stinging flies emanted from the tomb, flew over the city wall and attack every single france soldiers, bringing peace back to Girona. It is a gorgeous place to visit Girona with medieval walls and narrow winding city streets.
