About
The Basilica of Sant Feliu stands in Girona, in the Catalan region of Spain, at Pujada de Sant Feliu, 29. It is known locally as the Basílica de Sant Feliu and is one of the city's most important religious buildings.
What to see
The basilica is a Gothic church built over the tomb of Saint Felix. Visitors are drawn to its distinctive octagonal bell tower, which is one of the features that make the building easy to recognise from across the old town. Inside, the church also holds Roman sarcophagi, a reminder that the site has been important for many centuries.
What kind of visit it makes
A visit suits anyone interested in religious architecture, Gothic design or the layers of history in a town that has long been a centre of faith. It is a good stop for a slower walk rather than a quick photograph, since the interior rewards time spent looking at the tombs and the stonework.
