> Girona - Museum Dal� Madrid Half Day

Full Day 6 hours

This excursion have a duration of 8 hours approximately and is developed with an autorized professionist.
The excursion is composed of:

Girona's cathedral

The Gerona Cathedral has the widest Gothic nave in the world. It was designed with three naves, but the prospect of a single nave caused work on it to be suspended and an argument that lasted 50 years.
To reach the main front, you must go up a large staircase from the late 17th century. The main fa�ade is Baroque, while the cloister is from the 12th century, the bell tower is from the 11th and the rest of the building is from the 14th century. The cloister is large with a trapezoidal plan that is dictated by the wall to which it is adjoined. There are works of great beauty and value on the inside. The high altar reredos made of silver, enamel and precious stones is one of the jewels of Spanish precious metalwork. The capitals of the cloister have scenes from the Old and New Testaments. The tapestry of the Creation is an important piece of Romanesque tapestry making. There is also a Beato de Li�bana.


The San Felix Church

This church was built in XVI century, over a romanic building (pertaining to XII century)where were paleocristians coffins pertaining at IV century,from a cemetary present in the same place times ago. In this temple exist a chapel dedicated to San Narciso, a saint venerate in Girona (29 October)for removed the french troops of here in 1285. Furthermore, a legend tells, more flies was exit from the saint's coffin (who kill 4.000 horses and 20.000 soldiers).


The Jewish quarter or the "Call"

In the 12th century, Jews moved to a lower part of the city. In 1160 they were already inhabiting the Call, the name given to Jewish quarters in Catalonia. It is a name coming from Latin callis (street), which would become carrer in Catalan and calle in Spanish. In medieval times, call meant a �group of narrow streets�. The most humble houses were erected in the Call, specially in the narrowest and wettest streets. Usually two-storey houses and with as few as two rooms, whole Jewish families could be found working inside the house. These paved, narrow and labirynth streets constituted the urban space where most of the Jewish population in Girona settled in the 13th and 14th centuries, along with Jewish institutions and Christian workshops and dwellings. If was only at the time of the conflicts that took place in the 15th century that the Call became a reclusion space. In 1448 a municipal order gave Jews six days to abandon their dwellings outside the Call and forced them to live inside the Call.
Gradually, during the second half of the 15th century, the Call became a more and more reduced space, at the same time that it became more and more separate from its original nucleus, the carrer de la For�a. Thus, the Call became a place of reclusion and marginalisation, an urban redoubt in the medieval city.


Dal� theatre-museum

Inaugurated in 1974, the Dal� Theatre-Museum was atop the remains of the former Theatre of Figueres, and contains a broad spectrum of works covering the artistic career of Salvador Dal� (1904-1989), from his early artistic experiences and his creations within the sphere of surrealism through to works dating from the last years of his life. Some of the most outstanding works on exhibition there are Port Alguer (1924), The Spectrum of Sex Appeal (1932), Soft Self-Portrait with Fried Bacon (1941), Poetry from America, the Cosmic Athletes (1943), Galarina (1944-45), The Bread Basket (1945), Atomic Leda (1949) and Galatea of the Spheres (1952). We might also note the sets of work the artist created expressly for the Theatre-Museum, such as the Mae West room, the Palace of the Wind room, Monument to Francesc Pujols and Rainy Cadillac.
The Dal� Theatre-Museum has to be seen as a whole, as the great work of Salvador Dal�, since it was conceived of and designed by the artist in order to offer visitors a genuine experience that would take them into his entrancing and unique world.
