Girona
Girona's archeology museum hosts old-school exhibits that date from prehistoric to medieval times, including pre-Roman Iberian amphorae, Roman mosaics, early-Christian sarcophagi and the 4th-century Roman marble Sepulcre de les Estacions (Sepulchre of the Seasons) from the nearby ruins of ·¡³¾±èú°ù¾±±ð²õ.
It's located within the handsome Romanesque Monestir de Sant Pere de Galligants.
