Saló del Tinell, Medieval palace in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain
The Saló del Tinell features massive stone walls, rounded arches, and a vaulted ceiling spanning 17 meters within the Royal Palace complex.
King Peter III commissioned master builder Guillem Carbonell to construct this ceremonial hall between 1359 and 1370 as part of the Royal Palace.
The hall serves as a venue for the Museum of History of Barcelona, displaying exhibitions about the medieval period of the Catalan capital.
Visitors can access the Saló del Tinell through the MUHBA museum complex at Plaça del Rei, with regular guided tours available Tuesday through Sunday.
Archaeological excavations beneath the hall revealed Roman walls and structures from ancient Barcino, creating a multilayered historical site.
