Saló Sant Jordi
El Saló Sant Jordi del Palau de la Generalitat, és la part més "moderna" del edifici, datant només del 1619. Primer fou una capella, però ben aviat ja fou un saló. Per desgracia, les pintures noucentistes que l' haurien decorat, de Torres Garcia, foren cobertes per "massa catalanistes", però es pogueren recuperar en part. De fet, és el segón cop que hi estic. El primer cop fou el 1991 (crec), quan vaig anar a recollir de mans del MHP Jordi Pujol un premi CIRIT pel meu treball de recerca sobre la batalla de l'Ebre.
Per el Sant Jordi de 2022, el primer normal des del Covid19, varem anar a visitar el Palau de la Generalitat.

======================
This is the "most modern" part of the Palau de la Generalitat. It was completed only in 1619, but the paintings are from the XX Century. It's my second visit of this place. First time was in 1991, when I won a school award for my work about the Battle of the Ebro (1938).
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.
