Second main Cathedral in Girona, it is a pleasant cathedral where you can take beautiful photos. It was closed when I went there. Almost in front of it there is a square where is located one of symbols of the city: Lyon Sculpture.

This imposing basilica church equals the nearby city cathedral in beauty and importance. Located in a picturesque medieval part of the city, this church is Gothic in style with a baroque facade, full of statues in niches. The church is older than the cathedral and has also a slender bell tower and stairs leading up to its main entrance.
Beautiful basilica of Girona! Together with the cathedral, they dominate the skyline of Girona. Walk around the basilica where the Jewish quarter is located or go up to the hill where the old City Hall is and catch a glimpse of the basilica against the city as backdrop. You can also see the top of the basilica along the river.
Stopped in Girona on the way back from the Dali Museum. Wish we had more time to walk the walls explore the various churches and the narrow. Definitely worth a visit once you find the historic centre. A bit like Florence meets Spain with the bridges and houses along the river
This church is just opposite the bridge of Saint Felix, on the eastern bank of the River Onyar. It seemed a little odd that a basilica is smaller than the cathedral until I found out that historically this church housed the Diocese of Girona and therefore the main church in Girona until the construction of the cathedral. Much like the cathedral, it’s a lovely mix of Romanesque, Gothic and with a Baroque facade. Not quite a beautiful as Girona Cathedral, this church does have a few interesting points such as the 4th century sarcophaguses, an interesting alter with a statue of Saint Felix (I think), and the tomb of Narcissus of Girona who was one of the early bishops of Girona. Keep in mind that you can buy a combined ticket for this basilica and Girona Cathedral, also known as the Church of St. Mary. Although the cathedral is more opulent than the basilica, I actually found the narrative of the audio guide for the basilica far superior. Do not miss the Chapel of Saint Narcissus, which I though was far more beautiful than any of the chapels in the church for it's stunning jasper walls.
