Cases dels Canonges, Gothic Revival building in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain
The Casa de los Canónigos features multiple buildings arranged around open courtyards with staircases leading to the noble floors of the structure.
The residence, constructed in the 14th century, provided housing for regular canons of the Seo who transitioned away from their monastic lifestyle.
The building maintains its role as the official residence for the President of the Generalitat of Catalonia, connecting to the government palace through a Gothic bridge.
Located between Bisbe, Pietat, and Paradis streets, the building stands within walking distance of the Barcelona Cathedral and numerous historical plazas.
At the base of the connecting bridge lies an enigmatic skull pierced by a dagger, believed to express the architect's dissatisfaction with design restrictions.
