Girona, known in Spanish as Gerona, is the capital city of the Province of Girona in the autonomous community of Catalonia in north-eastern Spain. It stands at the confluence of four rivers, the Ter, the Onyar, the Galligants and the Guell, and lies about ninety-nine kilometres north-east of Barcelona. The city is also the capital of the Girones comarca and of the vegueria of Girona. Its official population was 106,476 in 2024, while the wider Girona and Salt urban area is estimated at about 156,400 people in 2020. Much of the old quarter of this ancient city has been preserved, and that surviving heritage makes Girona a popular destination for tourists visiting Catalonia.
