Audio Guide
The cathedral archdeacon's 16th-century residence was built on top of a ruined 12th-century building, over the ancient Roman walls of the city. The cloister, Renaissance patio and its Gothic-style central fountain are outstanding period pieces. Modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Muntaner added a witty postbox by the front door. The pigeon carved on it represents the hope for quick delivery, whilst the tortoise represents the inefficient reality of the postal service. It's normally only open to the public on June 5th for the Corpus Christi celebrations, although it houses occasional temporary exhibitions.
