Galligants Bridge - Braavos Bridge, Girona

Located between Plaça dels Jurats and the Sant Pere de Galligants Abbey, the Galligants bridge, a monumental piece of stonework, is named after the eponymous river (the Galligants), which is one of the four rivers running through the city. Nowadays, the river is only 4.5 km long, which makes it hard to believe that, back in the old days, it caused one of the worst floods in Girona's history – up to four meters high! – in which the neighborhoods of Sant Pere and de la Barca were washed away completely.

An integral part of Girona's Old Town, this arch bridge is perhaps the most beautiful of all overpasses built on the Galligants watercourse. Ironically, however, today you can't see any water underneath it, for it's been channeled out of this part of town.

Still, this fact alone didn't stop the makers of Game of Thrones from using this bridge as a key location for their shooting of episode seven of the sixth season of the series. Here, Arya Stark (played by Maisie Williams) is seen observing a sculpture in the distance and contemplating her situation after booking her passage home. She is then stabbed by a forlorn girl masked as an old woman.

To make the Galligant Bridge look scenic, considerable CGI effects had to be used. In particular, the landscape that the character is looking at, including a 400-foot tall statue of the Titan of Braavos guarding the harbor, was entirely computer-generated. And while the actual scene of Arya in the water was filmed in a harbor in Northern Ireland, being here you can still capture the feel for this Game of Thrones Girona landmark.
