The cloister-like Renaissance patio and the Gothic fountain in its center are outstanding examples from their periods. The Modernist architect Lluis Domènech i Muntaner added a postbox beside the front door: the pigeons carved on it represents the hope for a fast delivery, while the tortoise reflects the reality of an inefficient postal service. The Casa de l'Ardiaca is normally only open to the public on June 5, for the Corpus Christi celebrations, although it houses occasional temporary exhibitions.
