Casa de l'Ardiaca, Gothic public building in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain.
The Casa de l'Ardiaca features stone walls, Renaissance-style entrance, inner courtyard with columns, and a decorative first-story roof terrace facing Barcelona Cathedral.
Built in the 12th century using sections of Barcelona's Roman wall, the building served as the residence for archdeacons until the 19th century.
The structure houses the Historical Archive of Barcelona, containing 80,000 volumes and documents about city governance from the 13th to 19th centuries.
The Historical Archive welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 20:45 and Saturday from 10:00 to 20:00 with free admission.
A modernist letterbox designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner displays three swallows representing speed and a tortoise symbolizing bureaucracy.
