Torre Girona

The former chapel of Torre Girona is where modernity and antiquity clash and surprisingly the result of this high contrast is an inspiring must see interior space. The clash of  thick beige stone walls, the Romanesque arches, the ornately carved wooden doors with the Iron, Steel and Glass. Torre Girona is where the Spain´s most powerful Supercomputer "MareNostrum" (In Latin : Our Sea) is located. The harmony that exists between the technology and architecture there amazes all the visitors. As it is said MareNostrum may not be the most powerful in the world but surly it is the most beautiful.
