The immense and immensely instructive Museu d’Historia de la Ciutat claims a number of the palace’s former salons and allows an underground tour of Roman ruins dating to the first century BC, as well as later Visigothic constructions that have been excavated beneath the palace and cathedral next door. A detailed model of Barcelona in the 15th century shows what the city would have looked like long before Eixample and Gaudí were ever thought of.
The museum pass also includes access to the 14th-century Saló del Tinell, a grandiose banquet hall and former Royal throne room with six stone archways, said to be the spot where the King and Queen greeted Columbus; the austere Capella Reial de Santa Àgata, the former royal chapel; and to the top of the Torre del Rei Martí, a high mirador overlooking the city. At the time of publication, the latter was closed for renovations.
