In the heart of Astorga, right next to the cathedral, lies one of the most unusual bishop's residences on the Iberian Peninsula: the Palacio Gaudi. It was designed and built by the famous Spanish architect of the same name (Antonio Gaudi, 1852-1926). A visit to the museum housed here is worthwhile both for the exhibits presented to visitors and, of course, for the imaginative architecture of the building.

On June 24, 1889, the prelate's name day, the first stone was laid. They had planned to complete the work on the palace in June 1894, but the bishop died in 1893, and this event radically changed the course of the work, paralyzed by the hostility between Gaudí and the Diocesan Council. Finally, Antonio Gaudí resigned from his post as chief architect, very upset by the treatment he received. In 1905, D. Julián de Diego y Alcolea ruled the diocese of Astorga and tried to convince Gaudí to return to the works of the palace, but he did not succeed. Ricardo García-Guereta, diocesan of León, was appointed architect and completed the work on October 12, 1913, as bishop D. Julián de Diego y Alcolea

Cultural visit The Cathedral of Astorga is a temple that is forever engraved in the memory of those who visit it. It offers a fantastic tour explained through an audio guide system available in different languages. A visit also designed for the little ones, since the cathedral offers a fun audio guide for children.
