Girona cathedral
Type: Cathedral
The present edifice of Girona cathedral is one of the finest specimens of Gothic architecture in Spain. It is approached by eighty-six steps. Among its interior decorations is a retable which is the work of the Valencian silversmith Pere Bernec. It is divided into three tiers of statuettes and reliefs, framed in canopied niches of cast and hammered silver.
A gold and silver altar-frontal was carried off by the French in 1809. The cathedral contains the tombs of Ramon Berenger and his wife.
