Royal Palace

Home of the Counts of Aragón

Plaça del Rei
Barcelona, Barcelona 08002
+34 (0)93 285 3834 (Informacion Turistica)

This was once the Counts of Aragón's Barcelona residence. In the Roman period, it was the residence of the local governor, and later belonged to the Visigoth Ataulfo. Its Roman origins can be seen clearly in the façade. Now, after a series of renovations and expansions and a whole slew of Barcelonan counts, we're left with a Gothic building with one tower, called King Martin's Tower, which was used as a viewpoint and observatory.
