In the middle of Barcelona Cathedral, stands the chorus. This construction was built in the 16th-century, on the orders of Carlos I of Spain, master of the order of the golden Fleece to meet with his fellow knights. Among which were 40 kings and dukes of Europe. The coat of arms of them all are engraved on the wooden chairs and nowadays are objects of study for chivalry scholars.

When the knights finally met, Carlos gave a phrase to history: "I would rather be Count of Barcelona than Emperor of Germany".
