Tips

Marti Ferret

The Lioness of Gerona or, also called the Lioness's Ass, is a calcareous stone sculpture from the 12th century. The figure is bulky in relief, and has a damaged part of the face and tail.
It is one of the tourist icons par excellence.
The saying goes in Catalan: "Només podràs return to Girona if you have fetó a petó al cul de la lleona". Its translation would be: "You will only return to Girona if you give the lioness a kiss on the ass". That is why the statue has metal stairs at its base.

Lion statue in Girona city center.
According to legend, touching or kissing this statue will bring you back to Girona at some point in your life.
