Saló del Tinell

This magnificent hall with solid columns (1359-1370), where they say that Isabel and Fernando received Christopher Columbus on his return from America, is a classic example of Catalan Gothic. Built by order of the King of Aragon Pedro III the Ceremonious to the master builder Guillem Carbonell, it is one of the three buildings that are part of the Royal Mayor Palace of Barcelona (the other two are the Chapel of Saint Agatha and the Palace of Lloctinent). The Royal Palace was the former residence of the counts of Barcelona and, later, of the kings of the Crown of Aragon. The Tinell Hall, which served as the ceremonial room of the former Royal Mayor Palace, and the Chapel of St. Agatha are part of the Museum of History of Barcelona (MUHBA).

Currently the hall is rented by the City of Barcelona for the celebration of events. It has a maximum capacity of 400 people.
