Opposite the Casa de la Ciutat, on the northwestern side of the Plaça de Sant Jaume, the main traffic junction in the Barri Gòtic, towers the former Palau de la Diputació, built in the 15th C. and once the seat of the medieval body of provincial representatives. Today it houses the Generalitat de Catalunya, the autonomous government of Catalonia.
Well worth seeing is the imposing inner courtyard in the Gothic style; on the first floor is the Chapel of St George, also Gothic. At the back of the building lies the charming orangery.
The inside of the building is open to the public on 23 April (feast day of Sant Jordi). It is also possible to visit on Saturday or Sunday, but a written request must be made at least fifteen days
