Govern Militar, Military government building in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain.
The neoclassical building features fluted columns, Corinthian capitals, carved pediments, and balustrades adorning its rectangular structure with two interior courtyards.
In 1927, military engineer Josep Sans i Forcadas and Pompeu Martí designed this structure to house War Ministry facilities on the former site of Saint Francis Convent.
The building mirrors the architectural design of Barcelona's Llotja de Mar, incorporating decorative concrete sculptures by Felipe Coscolla at its crown balustrade.
Located at the intersection of Passeig de Colom and Portal de la Pau Square, the building currently houses the Ministry of Defense Quartermaster Headquarters.
The four-sided structure contains allegorical sculptures representing military virtues and qualities, positioned along its perimeter at strategic viewpoints.
