Palau Reial Major (14th-16th cent.): Ferdinand & Isabella greeted Columbus here on his return. Also, site of the Inquisition.

One of the oldest and most beautiful sites from medieval times in the Gothic Quarter.
The Great Royal Palace was the residence of the counts of Barcelona and now is the home of the Museu d'Història de la Ciutat, housing archeological remains from Roman times.
King Ferdinand & Queen Isabella greeted Columbus here on his return from his first voyage to the New World.
Photo taken on Plaça del Rei.
