Situated alongside the Onyar River, Girona's history dates back to the Iberians who named it Gerunda. Over the centuries, the Visigoths and Moors played roles in its destiny, witnessing 25 sieges and changing hands seven times. The city's rulers shifted frequently.
Jewish presence in Girona traces back to the 9th century, flourishing notably in the 12th century with the establishment of a significant Kabbalistic school. The Call, or Jewish Quarter, stands as one of Europe's most important and well-preserved. In our Girona Private Jewish Tour we will explore it with our expert guide, visiting landmarks like the Patio de la Estrella and the Jewish history museum, Bonastruc ca Porta Centre, housed in the former Synagogue, showcasing a prominent collection of Jewish tombstones.
Take a leisurely stroll through the enchanting cobbled streets of Girona, immersing yourself in the captivating atmosphere of the city's historic Jewish quarter. As we wander, the charming architecture and narrow alleyways offer a glimpse into the vibrant life of this ancient community. Girona's unique blend of cultures becomes evident through iconic monuments such as the cathedral and Arab baths, each telling a tale of the city's cultural richness as a true melting pot.
Let the echoes of the past guide you through the intricate tapestry of Girona's diverse and fascinating history!
