The Parliament Building of Catalonia is located in the Parc de la Ciutadella in Barcelona. It can be visited at specific times that you can find on the web. It is a highly recommended visit, both for the official status of the building and its architecture. For people from outside Barcelona, make sure you access and combine your visit with other nearby attractions, such as the ZOO and El Born. The whole area is ideal for walking enjoying the surroundings

The other day with our exchange partners we went to visit the Parliament of Catalonia where they gave us an inside look. It looked like a royal palace. We enjoyed every corner of Parliament. Although politics I do not know much surprised me that it was completely empty because the news is always full and with people discussing different issues. I really liked the design of the building and it is always good to know a bit of Catalan culture. I highly recommend it to visit.

Let's see if any of those who work here explain to me the inconsistency of some laws; a person for stealing a jacket of 400 euros is charged with a crime; In addition to a neighbor of mine, squatters have entered the apartment, they steal the floor worth 200,000 euros, they are undervaluing the floor selling everything that was inside the sofa, radiators furniture ect and the police do nothing; let's see if someone explains all this to me

Superbonito! We were on a free guided tour and I highly recommend it. Once you pass through the entrance control, you enter an ideal world. When they tell you that it used to be a powder keg, it seems incredible. You can request the visit through its website and visit a piece of history ...

The history of the Palace where the Parliament of Catalonia is located, is a neoclassical building, from the year 1717 and the architect was Joris Prosper Van Verboom. In 1868, when Ciutadella was demolished as a military fortress to convert it into a park, only three buildings were left standing: the Governor's House, the Castrense Church and the Arsenal (now the Palau del Parlament de Catalunya). In 1939 Franco turned the Palau into a dungeon. In 1945, it was transformed into the Museum of Modern Art. Finally, in 1980 he reconverted into the Palau del Parlament de Catalunya, the President who returned from exile Josep Taradellas.

A historic building, very well preserved and headquarters of an important Catalan institution, representing the people of Catalonia. The guided tour is very complete, with an employee of the institution, with extensive knowledge and that solves all the questions that are asked with kindness. It is worth the visit, both for the location (Parc de la Ciutadella), as for the building and its history, as well as for what the institution and its operation represents. Total ease for booking through web and free visit. Totally recommended.

The palace is built in the shape of a cross, with a dome in the center and four courtyards. It used to be an old arsenal Ciutadeli, built between 1717 - 1727 by Jorge Prospero de Verbum. The city authorities in 1889 decided to turn it into a royal palace. The city architect Pere Falke carried out work on adapting the building to a new idea ... Then there was a museum, then the barracks of General Franco, then museum squares again ... And finally, in 1980, with the restoration of the parliament, the palace was renovated, and he again became a parliamentary house (plenary sessions of parliament are held here).
