The Palace of Justice was one of the first public buildings in Barcelona designed with a monumental character, following the University of Barcelona. It was built on an isolated plot to match the scale of the expanding Eixample district.
With its eight towers and large domes, the building has the imposing look of a fortress, reinforcing the idea of justice as strong and unyielding. The towers also feature shields of Catalonia’s four provinces.
