Llotja De Mar
The Llotja de Barcelona or Llotja de Mar (Catalan for ''Llotja of Barcelona'' or ''Sea Llotja'') is a building located on Passeig d'Isabel II, in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona. It was formerly a meeting place for the city's merchants, and was used for trading. The current 18th century neoclassical building is the successor of other older constructions such as the old medieval building, one of the finest double-storey civil Gothic buildings in the Mediterranean. History Pere Llobet built a porch between 1352 and 1357 next to the beach, in the place where, possibly, there was a previous one. Later, in 1358, a chapel was added. This construction, which probably remained unfinished, soon became too small and Peter the Ceremonious authorized the construction of a large enclosed hall (which is still preserved), which also protected the merchants from the inclemency of the weather and the effects of the sea. Pere Arvei was the architect in charge of directing the works, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
