In this monastery, a jewel of Catalan Romanesque architecture, you can learn about the earliest history of humankind in the Girona region, from prehistory to the mediaeval period, through the collection of archaeological objects on display.

Tried to see the chapel on our last visit four years ago but an exhibition seemed to be taking place so it wasn't possible. So glad I came back. Worth visiting for the chapel alone, very atmospheric 12th Century building and the Rose Window (no glass) is quite awesome. If, like me, you are into history and archeology (or even if you're not!), you will really enjoy this museum which traces civilisation from Neanderthal through to modern times with artefacts to illustrate. Most of the exhibits are labelled in English as well as Castilian Spanish and Catalan, which is not also so. Only spent a couple of hours here but could have spent much longer!

The Sant-Domenec steps are amazing location to get a chance to view. Beautiful spot to take photos and gives you a taste of the old town charm everyone visiting europe is looking for. If you can come here during the evening, the steps would probably look even more beautiful.

Beautiful architecture, and well worth a look, it’s only 2 euros to visit. Granted you’re in and out within 20 minutes, but it’s a nice attraction. Be warned that there is a spiral staircase to contend with, so not ideal for anyone with mobility issues.
