Where to stay in Jewish quarter of Girona
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Rooms inside the Jewish quarter of Girona occupy converted stone houses on the old lanes, so a bag arrives up worn steps rather than across a lobby floor. The flatter option lies below, where the Cases de l'Onyar front the river and the walk into the alleys is a bridge and one stair. Girona Cathedral tops the climb.
Choose the quarter itself if you want the medieval streets after dark, once the day visitors have thinned out. Casa Masó marks the riverbank end of that choice.

About Jewish quarter of Girona
What are the main landmarks in Jewish quarter of Girona?
The Museo de Historia de los Judíos stands inside the quarter, on its main lane. Girona Cathedral closes the top of that climb, a long flight of steps dropping from its west front straight into the medieval streets below. The Museo de Historia de Girona sits further down the same run, while the Girona Museum of Art keeps the old episcopal rooms beside the cathedral.
Torre Gironella caps the walls. Down at the water, the Cases de l'Onyar and Casa Masó carry the frontage every arrival photographs.
What is the history of Jewish quarter of Girona?
A judería stood here first. Jewish families settled the slope below the cathedral, and the lanes they cut into it kept their shape long after the community was driven out at the close of the fifteenth century. What remains is fabric rather than people: walls, stairs, and alleys that stop at a blank face of stone.
The Museo de Historia de los Judíos keeps the record of it. Catalunya holds other quarters cut to the same pattern, and this one reads much like them.
Where is Jewish quarter of Girona?
The quarter fills the slope between Girona Cathedral and the Cases de l'Onyar, a wedge of the historic centre penned in by the medieval walls.
