Escala integrada / A stair inside the wall

Aquest preciós raconet es troba en una cantonada amagada del Pati dels Tarongers. Pel magnific estat de la pedra tallada, sospito que es tracta d'un detall més neomedieval que autenticament gòtic, però potser vaig errat.

 

Per el Sant Jordi de 2022, el primer normal des del Covid19, varem anar a visitar el Palau de la Generalitat.

======================

 

This nice wall staircase stands in a corner of the main terrace of the Palau de la Generalitat. I presume this is maybe more neo-gothic than really medieval, though.

 

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.
