Consulate’s Hall

A small pleasure in a select space

The Consulate’s Hall is on the first floor, the noble floor of Llotja de Mar.

It is a unique space brimming with history and art. Wherever you look you see one-off artworks created and designed by history-making artists. The ceiling features a painting by Pere Pau i Montaña made to mark Charles IV's 1802 visit to the Llotja, an allegory of royal power.

The walls are clad in red damask silk and beneath the canopy of the pediment is a portrait of Antoni de Capmany i de Montpalau (1742-1812), the work of Modest Teixidor i Torres.

Hall of Lions

A small, multifunctional space

The antechamber to the Consuls’ Hall, known as the Hall of Lions, gets its name from the two majestic plaster lions sculpted by Damià Campeny.

A light-filled space that is smaller than the other rooms at Llotja de Mar, where you can organise different functions or celebrations.

A unique setting for a cocktail party or corporate meeting, with style and singularity as the standout features. If you are looking for somewhere to hold a small event, this is the room for you.

Golden Hall

An elegant and exclusive space for signature occasions

The Golden Hall at Llotja de Mar is one of the most singular spaces and full of artistic value. The walls are clad in damask silk and you can see the coat of arms and motto of the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce. Of note are the golden frames and pediments of the doors, the sculptures, furniture and cut-glass teardrop chandeliers.

Consuls’ Hall

The austere elegance of a room awash with talent

This room is like no other. Formerly the site of the Academy of Fine Arts, tasked with public education in Barcelona, it was here that architect Antoni Gaudí took his first steps in the world of architecture and Pablo Picasso produced his first paintings.

The room has been fully remodelled. The arches were found intact when the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce undertook the remodelling of Llotja de Mar in 1973 and the intermediate beams and moulding were demolished.

Contracting Hall

A majestic space with appeal, comfort, distinction, elegance and gravitas

The Contracting Hall is the architectural highlight of Llotja de Mar, conserved in this space since Medieval times.

It is a large room with soaring, 14-metre-high ceilings, four columns and six arches that support the wooden beams of the upper floor.

The scallop shells on the arches alternate with the coat of arms of the king and the city of Barcelona, since it was Peter III and the Consell de Cent government institution that promoted the building’s construction.
