Palau Centelles

The palace features three facades constructed with Montjuïc stone ashlars and contains a rectangular interior patio with a covered staircase forming a gallery.

Lluís de Centelles constructed this residential building at the end of the 15th century, replacing an earlier 13th-century structure on the same location.

The building displays architectural elements from both Gothic and Renaissance periods, including late Gothic window moldings and Renaissance sculptural decorations.

Located at the intersection of Baixada de Sant Miquel and Carrer dels Gegants, the palace currently functions as government offices.

The main facade includes a 15th-century voussoir portal, while the first section of arcades was added during the 19th-century modifications.
