Girona. Two thousand one hundred years of coexistence of cultures

Monday, November 3, 2025

A series of conferences to commemorate the bimillennium of the city's foundation

This series of lectures is part of the commemoration of the 2100 years of our city through a journey that connects us with the deepest roots of our past and projects us towards the future with pride and hope. Since that distant founding moment, the city has grown, transformed and become a living testimony of generations that have left their mark on it.

Today we celebrate not only its foundation, but also the strength of a community that has known how to preserve memory, promote culture and look forward, without forgetting its origins. We hope that this anniversary will be a bridge between history and tomorrow, and a tribute to everyone who has contributed to making our city a living place open to the world.
