About Santa Eugenia
Where to stay in Santa Eugenia
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Santa Eugenia lies west of the old centre of Girona, a lived-in quarter rather than a hotel district. Beds gather instead beside the Cases de l'Onyar and along the lanes below Girona Cathedral, where most first-time visitors want to wake. Palau Girona-Fontajau stands closer.
Choose this side if you would rather sleep on a working Girona street and walk into the old town when it suits you.
About Santa Eugenia
What are the main landmarks in Santa Eugenia?
Girona keeps its monuments in the old quarter, and Santa Eugenia sends its visitors over the water rather than holding any of its own. Girona Cathedral takes that traffic. Sant Pere de Galligants, Torre Gironella and the Museo de Historia de los Judíos stand in the streets around it, while Casa Masó faces the river among the Cases de l'Onyar.
Nearer the western side, Palau Girona-Fontajau draws the concerts and the crowds those old lanes cannot hold.
What is the history of Santa Eugenia?
Santa Eugenia's entry is one line. The record files it as a settlement of the municipality of Girona, counted with the city rather than standing apart from it, and no founding year is set against the name. Girona holds the older account, carried by Sant Pere de Galligants and by the stonework of Torre Gironella.
Where is Santa Eugenia?
Santa Eugenia spreads over the western side of Girona, back from the Onyar and the river frontage of the Cases de l'Onyar.
