Description
This was built during the 1929 works and connects the space where the clerk’s office used to be with the first floor. Three large blind arches in black marble give the staircase its name: Escala Negra, meaning Black Staircase. In 1931, painter Miquel Viladrich created an oil-on-wood mural that was fitted into the three arches. The triptych is entitled Barcelona, cap i casal de Catalunya.
