Museu d’Arqueologia
Everyone from the Iberians, Greeks, and Carthaginians to the Romans, Visigoths, and Muslims passed through Girona and its surrounding countryside at some point, and the thorough collections of this regional branch of the Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya chronicle them all. The museum occupies the Romanesque former Benedictine monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants (St. Peter of the Cock Crows), one of the city’s most striking medieval buildings. Finds from the Roman period and the Greek trading settlement at Empúries are particularly well represented.
