Llotja de Barcelona, Medieval trade exchange building in Sant Pere district, Barcelona, Spain

The Llotja de Barcelona features Gothic and Neoclassical architectural elements, with grand facades, an elaborate staircase, and the Fountain of Neptune decorating its exterior.

Established in 1400, this structure marked the first trading exchange in Europe, reflecting Barcelona's economic power during the medieval Mediterranean commercial expansion.

The building houses both the Chamber of Commerce and the Royal Catalan Academy of Fine Arts of Saint George, maintaining its role in business and arts.

Located near Barcelona's port on Passeig d'Isabel II, visitors can access guided tours during business hours to explore the medieval Contracting Hall.

The original Gothic trading hall, known as Saló de Contractacions, remains completely preserved within the newer Neoclassical structure that surrounds it.
