Girona Medieval & Dali's Figueres

Itinerary:

GIRONA & FIGUERES

You will be picked up at 10:00 a.m. by the driver who will be calling any of the party members by the family name.

This visit allows knowing the city, arrival to Girona; according to some historians they locate its foundation in the iberos´s time and some other in the years 77 and 76 BC by the Romans. The Arab occupation was very brief.

Very important by its Hebrew community in the XIII and XIV centuries, which the Call is the maximum exponent. City that has undergone great changes along the history, now days thanks to its monumental architectonic set and the Brave Coast importance as tourist destiny is a city in remains renovation.

At the entrance of the old part of the city, we found the Houses of l´Onyar, constructions of XVIII century on the old fluvial and rehabilitated walls in 1983. Its most emblematic sight, however, are the Houses on the Onyar --the river flowing through the city--, painted in bright colours against the impressing background images of Sant Feliu and the Cathedral.

We will visit wander about the streets, the old Jewish district, one of the best conserved medieval nuclei of all Europe where we can visit the Synagogue that is now in Jewish school centre, we will find the Cathedral, baroque building flanked by numerous noble buildings and marked by the omnipresent outside staircase and the cathedral facade, the Sant Feliu Church, the san Nicolau Church of and the Sant Pere de Galligans Monastery.

The cathedral was built in different styles (11th - 17th century a.d.), it preserves elements of the first Romanesque building (cloister and tower of Charlemagne), and the nave, its most spectacular characteristic, features with the widest arched span in the world.

The Arab baths at which it is arrived crossing a small bridge, of a very well conserved Romanic Christian origin but with clear Moorish influence. The structure and some architectural elements of the site remind us of Arab Baths, but in reality, they are a 12th century Romanesque construction. The frigidarium is covered by a notable annular vault.

We will follow from Figueres, to the Dalí Theatre-Museum, inaugurated in 1974, it was constructed above the rest of the old Figueres´s theatre and which contains the amplest work that describes the artistic trajectory of Salvador Dalí (1904-1989), from his first artistic experiences to the surrealist creations to works of the last years of his life.

In addition, it is possible specifically to emphasize the work made by the artist for the Theatre-Museum, like the Room Mae West, the Room Wind Palace, the Monument to Francesc Pujols and the rainy Cadillac. In addition, there are works of other artists who Dalí wanted to include: The Greco, Marià Fortuny, Modest Urgell, Ernest Meissonier, Marcel Duchamp, Wolf Wostell, Antoni Pitxot and Evarist Vallès, among others.

The Dalí Theatre-Museum is necessary to see it like a whole, as the great work of Salvador Dalí, since everything in it was designed by the artist with the purpose of offering to the visitor a true experience submerging him in his captivating and unique world.
