Palacio de la Generalidad Interiors

On the occasion of the Christmas holidays, the Palacio de la Generalidad was open to the public even at this late hour. The building was built in 1596 by architect Pere Blau.

In the lobby, coffered ceilings made of dark wood attract attention. The courtyard is framed by Gothic arches, cornices decorated with gargoyles.

In some rooms, the ceilings are lined with ceramic, and the caissons are covered with patterned glass. Overlappings above the central staircase are glass stained glass windows.

Here you can see several sculptures, including Tres gitanillos, made by Juan Rebula in 1946 and La Diosa by Josep Clarà i Ayats in 1918.

In the lobby stands a representative Renault Type EF Landaulet from 1914, formerly owned by the government.
