Palau Episcopal de Barcelona, Episcopal palace in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain
The Episcopal Palace stands between Plaza Nueva and the Cathedral, incorporating three towers of the Roman wall into its northern section.
Construction of the current palace began in 1253 under Bishop Arnau de Gurb, replacing an earlier episcopal residence near Saint Iu Square.
The Throne Room contains wall paintings from 1785 by artist Francesc Pla, depicting scenes from the Old Testament.
The palace serves as the official residence of Barcelona's archbishop and houses the Diocesan Archive, accessible through the main entrance on Bishop Street.
A medieval bridge once connected the palace to Casa de l'Ardiaca across the Roman towers until its demolition in 1823.
