This historically rich area within the old town offers a genuine backdrop for an immersive urban escape experience blending history, legend, and mystery. The journey unfolds across cobbled lanes and medieval landmarks, preserving the atmosphere of a community that lived in Girona until 1492.

The Experience Over approximately two hours, you’ll explore the neighborhood using a map and solve puzzles rooted in local history and folklore.
