The capital of the province of Gerona in the Catalonia region in northeastern Spain. Population 74,879 (2001). Located on a hill 98 meters above sea level, the Onyar River, a tributary of the Ter River, runs through the town. Close to the French border, it has long been a strategic military location, and its history is marked by wars. In particular, in 1809, the residents fought for seven months against Napoleon's army. Narrow, winding streets, medieval buildings such as the cathedral (1312-1598), churches and monasteries, and castle ruins are found on the right bank of the Onyar River. Food, textile and other industries are located at the foot of the hills.
