Palau de la Generalitat, Medieval palace in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain
The Palau de la Generalitat combines Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements across its multiple floors, featuring detailed stone sculptures and grand ceremonial spaces.
Construction of the government headquarters began in 1400, with architect Pere Blai completing the main Renaissance facade between 1597 and 1619.
The Sant Jordi Hall serves as the primary ceremonial space where presidential inaugurations and significant institutional events of Catalonia take place.
The palace maintains active government functions as the seat of the Presidency of Catalonia, with administrative offices located in the Sant Sever street wing.
