On the Royal Square (Pla? a del Rei), the Governor's Palace is located, combining the architecture of the late Gothic and early Renaissance. It was built in the 16th century for the emissary of the king (viceroy) in Barcelona. The building has three facades, each facing a different street. Now the palace houses the Archive of the Royal Dynasty of Aragon.
Pay attention to the drains of the building, they are made in the form of monsters and seem to echo the same figures on the facade of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia.
Be sure to look into the inner courtyard of the Palace. Here you can kiss the palm of the most important saint of Barcelona - St. George, who guards the Viceroy's Palace. Naturally, everyone who touches this palm and thinks of a wish will surely come true : )
