**2.2. Carrer del Bisbe-Carrer de Santa Llúcia**

This little crossroads near the cathedral square seems an ordinary place. Nevertheless, a closer examination reveals that some factors come together in this single crossing. Geometrically, the floorplan forms a T pattern in which the crossing point coincides with the bishop's palace door. This door, when opened, reveals an interior courtyard that enlarges Carrer de Santa Llúcia, leading into this peaceful enclosure. The façade of Santa Llúcia chapel in the same corner gives a monumental and ceremonial character to the place. On the opposite side, the entrance to the Casa de La Ardiaca museum is prolonged by a ramp. During the day, some street vendors invade the corner and try to sell their products in front of Santa Llúcia chapel or at the beginning of the ramp. However, the Bishop's palace door is always fully clear, because of the presence of a guard when the door is open, or even on account of the large number of people who circulate through Carrer del Bisbe. Only at night, and particularly on Saturday nights, people tend to fill the area in front of the closed door of the bishop's palace standing up and looking in the opposite direction. There, an old man sings opera arias and recitatives over an amplified orchestral base. His voice invades the corner and goes beyond those limits, turning the old streets into an urban opera theatre.
