About the battle
The second siege of Girona was the second unsuccessful French attempt to capture the city of Girona (spelled "Gerona" in Castilian) during the Peninsular War, part of the Napoleonic Wars.
General Duhesme's siege operations were interrupted by the Count of Caldagues's attack on 16 August, which ended the siege, leaving behind a considerable amount of materiel and provisions.
