Description
The early-15th-century Palau de la Generalitat opens through a monumental late-Renaissance facade with neoclassical leanings, designed by Pere Blai, but the masterful original Gothic entrance, the work of Marc Safont, sits on Carrer del Bisbe. The most impressive of its ceremonial halls is the muralled Renaissance Saló de Sant Jordi, named after Catalonia's patron saint. The Palau is visitable only on limited occasions (book online) – one-hour guided tours on the second and fourth weekends of the month, plus open-door days.
