Me fascina la Plaça del Rei. Located just off the Cathedral Square in Barcelona, this Palace complex once functioned as the residence of the
Conde de Barcelona and of the
Reyes de la Corona de Aragón. This Palace marks the site of Columbus´ reception by the kings after the return from the New World. In addition, the complex contains a chapel and the impressive
Saló del Tinnell, a royal reception hall.
I am fascinated by the
Mirador del Rey Martín, a rectangular tower consisting of five floors with seven windows looking out to the city. Originally designed to defend and provide vigilance, it seems to loom over the
plaça.
There is a neat
3-D virtual program. Take a look and enjoy.
