Les voltes dels Tarongers / Arcades and oranges
El Pati dels Tarongers és un dels espais més coneguts i bonics del Palau de la Generalitat. De fet, es troba a la planta principal del Palau.
Per el Sant Jordi de 2022, el primer normal des del Covid19, varem anar a visitar el Palau de la Generalitat.

======================
This is the Pati dels Tarongers (Orange garden), an irregularly shaped main floor terrace, ornated with several orange trees, as was usual in late-medieval palaces.
In Sant Jordi day (the patron saint of Catalonia) we went to visit the see of the Government of Catalonia, el Palau de la Generalitat, in Barcelona. It's an impressive mostly medieval building. As was typical of the times, it's not a purpose-built structure but a collection of re-used gothic palaces, that grew with the history of Catalonia.
