Why Visit Girona for Game of Thrones?
Girona is one of Spain’s most beautiful medieval cities, boasting cobbled streets, ancient city walls, and stunning Gothic architecture. The city’s historic charm made it the perfect setting for Braavos, King’s Landing, and Oldtown in HBO’s Game of Thrones. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the series or simply fascinated by European history, Girona has something to offer.
Explore Iconic Filming Locations
Our guided tour will take you through the key filming locations of Game of Thrones, bringing the epic scenes to life. Here are some of the highlights:
- Girona Cathedral – Perhaps the most famous filming location in the city, Girona Cathedral served as the exterior of the Great Sept of Baelor. It was here that Jaime Lannister and the Tyrell army attempted to rescue Margaery from the High Sparrow. As you stand before the grand staircase, you’ll recall the tension-filled moments from the show.
- The Jewish Quarter (El Call) – Girona’s Jewish Quarter, one of the best-preserved in Europe, became the streets of Braavos. This is where Arya Stark wandered as a blind beggar before engaging in her thrilling chase scene. Walking through its narrow, winding alleys feels like stepping directly into the world of Westeros.
- The Arab Baths – Featured in Arya Stark’s Braavosi training scenes, these well-preserved medieval baths provide a glimpse into the city’s Moorish past while doubling as an iconic Game of Thrones location.
- The Medieval Walls – Offering breathtaking panoramic views of Girona, these walls once protected the city from invaders. In the series, they played a role in various King’s Landing sequences. Walking along them will transport you to an era of knights and battles.
