The 30 Best Things to See and Do in Barcelona (Updated 2025)
"Built in the 14th century and located near the history museum, the Palau Reial Major consists of three distinct buildings (two considered Gothic masterpieces), was home to Barcelona’s counts and later the Kings of Aragon, and is said to be where Christopher Columbus returned after his voyage; its exhibits showcase a detailed regional history and it shares hours and admission costs with the Museum of the History of Barcelona." - Matthew Kepnes
