Generalitat de Catalunya Palace
This model represents the main facade of the Palau de la Generalitat in Sant Jaume Square, Barcelona, which houses the administrative offices of the Catalan region. The Palace was begun in 1403 with the expropiation of two private buildings. The part modeled is of more recent origin, dating from 1597. The architect was Pere Blai.
The rear facade of the model has a diagram showing the full extent of the Palace. I'm glad the rest of it wasn't supplied - where would I put it? It is 1:170 scale, making the base about 31 x 22 cm., and was published by La Ciutat de Paper in 1984.
