Palau Reial Major, Medieval royal palace in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain
The Palau Reial Major contains three primary structures: the Saló del Tinell, the Chapel of Santa Agata, and the Palau del Lloctinent, each representing distinct architectural periods.
The palace complex served as the residence for the counts of Barcelona and kings of Aragon until the 16th century when it became divided between the Inquisition and royal administration.
The Chapel of Santa Agata houses a remarkable altarpiece created by Jaume Huguet in 1465, displaying the traditional elements of Catalan Gothic painting.
The Barcelona History Museum manages access to the Tinell Room and Chapel of Santa Agata, with entry fees applicable except during specific free admission days.
The palace structure incorporates sections of ancient Roman walls, demonstrating the continuous architectural evolution of Barcelona from Roman times through the medieval period.
