Girona's Cathedral is the
cathedral of
Girona in
Catalonia,
Spain. The original cathedral was a
Romanesque building (S. XI-XII) which was redesigned by
Pere Sacoma in 1312. After a few years of dubitation,
Guillem Bofill and
Antoni Canet start the genial project in 1416. The new design consists of a big
Gothic revival nave, which is the widest Gothic nave in the world--22.98 m (75.39 ft)--and the second widest
nave of all styles after
St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
From the original Romanesque cathedral (consacred: 21 September,1038), it has a cloister and tower (called "Torre de Carlemany"), with outstanding relief sculptures . Also has the Tapís de la Creació (Tapestry of the Creation), a very rare large 11th century tapestry depicting the creation of the world, the months of the year and Biblical characters.
