Medieval Girona: A Game of Thrones Set

Touring Girona’s historic city center, it will come as no surprise that this beautifully preserved medieval town was used to film scenes for Game of Thrones. As you wander through a maze of winding, cobblestone alleyways in El Call, heralded as one of the best-preserved Jewish quarters in the world, time seems to have stood still. Stand inside the 12th-century Arab Baths, where light floods through the open cupola supported by slim columns over the main pool and walk along the medieval city walls that offer magnificent views of the town and the surrounding countryside. Climb the staircase to the hilltop perch of Girona Cathedral, constructed in the 15th century, to admire the soaring vaulted ceilings and gorgeous stained-glass windows.
