sala de visites

Catalan to English Other Architecture architecture
"Visiting room" wouldn't do too well; that's what they call where prison inmates receive callers ...

"Som a l’escala principal [del Palau Güell], i de seguida al vestíbul, que ens encisa a base de vitralls, mobles i el paviment de marbre del Garraf. Seguim pujant per l’escala d’honor fins al distribuïdor de la planta noble amb la seva barana-banc. L’avantsala dóna pas a la sala de passos perduts, i a la ***sala de visites,*** des d’on es veu la sala tocador de senyores."
