Athenaeum of Banyoles
The Athenaeum of Banyoles is an old building with a marked Gothic style. This building, located in the Major Square, was built during the 14th century.
This building follows the same style as other buildings located in the Major Square, a square that is arcaded. Although it has been greatly modified over the years, the Athenaeum of Banyoles still retains its Gothic character.
What stands out about the Athenaeum of Banyoles building, apart from the porches on the ground floor, are the Gothic windows on the first floor. The Corinthian columns and capitals in these windows are the result of a more modern renovation.
