Explore the Episcopal Palace of Astorga, also known as Palacio de Gaudí, guided by this engaging in-app audio tour.
You'll find yourself in one of the few buildings designed by Antonio Gaudí outside Catalonia. This is a magnificent neo-Gothic palace, built with granite stone from Bierzo, with features of a castle, temple, and stately palace, surrounded by a moat. Located on the route to Santiago de Compostela, the building houses the Museo de los Caminos, where you'll learn about the history of one of the oldest dioceses in Spain through an evocative art collection.
In the low level, marvel at the vaults decorated with glazed ceramics as well as the capitals – the mesulones – and the curious stained glass windows. Continuing your visit to the basement of the palace, you'll observe epigraphic, numismatic, and lapidary collections. On the first floor, you can examine starry capitals and tour the chapel, throne room, gala dining room, office and bedrooms or ministries.
