6 Best Day Trips from Barcelona, and the Itinerary to Know for Each | Condé Nast Traveler

"Girona Cathedral is so colossal that if you look up from the bottom of the stairs, people outside the entrance appear ant-like. To talk stats, the central part of the structure is actually the widest Gothic nave in the world. Though, these days, it’s not so much nave-league-tables that make the cathedral famous as its starring role in 'Game of Thrones.' (Yeah, that tiny show.) Fans will spot it as the Great Sept of Baelor in King’s Landing. And that huge stone staircase up? A frequent sight in season six, as are many streets and squares in Girona—or, rather, Braavos. Built between the 11th and 18th centuries, its walls and spaces are a real patchwork of styles: there’s our record-breaking Gothic nave, a Romanesque cloister and tower, while the steps and the façade are certainly Baroque. It’s pretty staggering to behold." - Gemma Askham,Jessica Benavides Canepa
