Virreina Palace, Neoclassical palace in El Raval, Spain
The Palacio de la Virreina displays a symmetrical facade with six ionic columns supporting balconies and twelve decorative vases along its cornice.
Manuel d'Amat i de Junyent, who served as Viceroy of Peru, commissioned architect Carles Grau to construct this palace between 1772 and 1778.
The palace functions as Barcelona City Council's cultural department, presenting temporary exhibitions focused on photography and contemporary art throughout its rooms.
Visitors can access the palace via metro line 3 at Liceu station or buses 14, 59, and 91, with opening hours from Tuesday to Sunday between 11:00 and 20:00.
A double staircase within the interior courtyard provides views of grand salon windows framed by fluted pilasters and carved decorative panels.
