Ca’l Bisbe / Palau Episcopal, Episcopal palace in Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, Spain

The Episcopal Palace extends along Barcelona's Roman walls, incorporating three historic towers and a central courtyard with medieval architectural elements.

The first written record of the building dates to 1176, when a papal bull mentioned the structure with towers adjacent to the Count's Palace.

The Throne Room exhibits neoclassical decorations depicting Old Testament scenes and reaches a height of 9.6 meters.

The palace functions as the official residence of Barcelona's archbishop and houses the Diocesan Archive, located between Plaza Nueva and Bishop Street.

The structure preserves decorated Romanesque capitals in the inner courtyard, representing rare examples of civil Romanesque sculpture in the city.
