#timetotravel
When my friends and I were planning our Spanish trip, they insisted on coming to Girona for a day trip. It is because they are Game of Thrones fans and the show filmed some scenes in this town, and this includes the Girona Cathedral and the steps!!
I have never seen Game of Thrones but I equally enjoy visiting the Girona Cathedral because it is a magnificent and beautiful gothic cathedral, it is certainly impressive especially when I walked up the stairs and looked at it closely.
There is also a garden, Jardines de La Francesa located right next to the Cathedral, make sure you visit it as well when you visit!!

Spectacular 11th Century Girona Cathedral 🇪🇸
Visiting Girona Cathedral was an unforgettable experience, standing atop the city with its grand staircase and imposing facade. The intricate details of the Gothic and Romanesque architecture were stunning, and the vast interior, with its high vaulted ceilings, felt both majestic and serene. The cathedral houses the famous Tapestry of Creation, a remarkable medieval artwork. I recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid the crowds and climb the bell tower for panoramic views of Girona. Exploring the nearby Jewish Quarter and walking along the old city walls added to the charm of this historic site.

[Girona Cathedral]
Girona Cathedral was built in the 14th-16th century, one of the world famous Gothic cathedrals. The cloister of the church
is a neo-Roman style, the facade and the main hall are Catalan baroque. The
main hall arch is 23 meters wide and is second only to St. Peter's Basilica in the world's unsupported church buildings.
The most precious piece of art in the church is the brocade painting Genesis, which was exhibited in the Treasure Hall.
Girona's main attraction is this cathedral, an elegant and compact town, this church is the most famous attraction
but more people know it is in the TV series "The game of rights" Inside the
both sides are full of delicious restaurants and lovely shops. It is said that the level of this church is very high,
can be seen through the decoration of the door, it seems to be the number of door wheels,
But the details of the sculpture are both exquisite and vivid, it is indeed a mixed church,
and, this quiet town, pure, calm and calm.
The moment when we arrived at the main church in the dense alleys, it did bring us an unexpected visual impact.
The 99-level heavenly ladder that suddenly turned out of the narrow alley, so did not hesitate to extend upwards and go straight to the church!
Stepping up the steep steps of 99, I think if it is a Christian,
step by step to step into the church, it will be more devout and moving.
