‘Episcopal Girona’, a single admission ticket for three heritage sites

The new ticket enables you to visit the Cathedral, the Basilica and the Girona Art Museum
This month of March, the city of Girona has implemented the Girona Episcopal combined admission pass. A ticket that enables the user to visit the Cathedral, the Basilica of Sant Feliu and the  Girona Art Museum, which sits within the walls of the old Episcopal Palace, all for the reduced price of €10. Three heritage sites that are essential and complementary for those who want to discover and explore the history and the art of the Girona Diocese. Have you ever seen them?
 
BASILICA OF SANT FELIU
You can begin your route with a visit to the Basilica of Sant Feliu. Up until the 10th century, this temple was the first cathedral of Girona. Today it is one of the city’s most representative Gothic buildings, thanks to its immense bell tower, which dates from the 14th-16th centuries. 
 
CATHEDRAL OF SANTA MARIA DE GIRONA
Just minutes on foot from the Basilica of Sant Feliu, you will come to the Cathedral of Girona, a symbol of the city that dates back more than 5 centuries. Located at the highest spot in the city, its single nave is the second largest in the world, second only to that of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican. The 90 stairs of the spectacular stairway will bring you up to the entrance doorway.
 
GIRONA ART MUSEUM, IN THE OLD EPISCOPAL PALACE
Just next to the Cathedral, within the walls of the old Episcopal Palace, is the Girona Art Museum. Founded in 1976, this museum houses the third most important Gothic and Romanesque art collection in Catalonia. Here you will discover unique works of Catalan art, dating from the Romanesque period to the present day.
 
You may purchase the new combined admission ticket at any of these three sites. Discounts are available for children of ages 8 to 16, students over age 16 with student ID, seniors and physically disabled persons. There is also a special rate for tourism groups.
