Carillon Concert at the Generalitat Palace

The Carillon of the Palace was inaugurated in December 1976 under the initiative of carillonneur M. Dolors Coll (awarded the Cross of Saint George in 2000 for her entire carillon work in our country, as well as for her international promotion of Catalan culture). This carillon replaced the small carillon from 1927. With 49 bells and a total of 4,898 kg of bronze, it becomes a magnificent concert instrument for our government seat. The bourdon, moreover, with 905 kg of bronze, bears the name 'Catalonia' inscribed on it. It was built in the Netherlands by Petit & Fritsen, and restored in December 1991. In October 2015, Eijsbouts (Petit & Fritsen) renewed the keyboards. October concert. Sunday the 4th at 12 PM. The art of playing with melodies: variations. Variations on classical and traditional popular themes. Check for more information on the carillon concert season. Last updated: 2/09/2026
