Gerona - Cathedral

The nave (aisleless) is one of the largest vaulted spaces in Gothic architecture, 50m/165ft long, 23m/75ft across and 34m/112ft high. The apse is considerably lower and, with its ambulatory and ring of chapels, is in accordance with the classical canon of forms. The high altar, under a baldachin, has a gilded retablo, a masterpiece of 14th century silversmith's work. Beyond this is the bishop's throne, a stone seat embellished with friezes of arabesques which is popularly known as the Throne of Charlemagne.

The Museum of Art, on the south side of the cathedral, has exhibits ranging in time from the pre-Romanesque period to the early 20th century.
