Palacio Episcopal de Astorga, Episcopal palace at Plaza Eduardo de Castro, Astorga, Spain
The palace features four cylindrical towers, pointed arches, and white granite walls that follow the neo-medieval architectural principles of the late 1800s.
The original episcopal residence burned in 1886, leading Bishop Juan Bautista Grau y Vallespinos to commission Antoni Gaudi for a new design in 1889.
The Museum of the Ways occupies the interior spaces, presenting exhibitions about religious art and artifacts connected to the Way of Saint James.
The palace opens daily from 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 20:00 between May and October, with shorter hours during winter months.
The granite building stands as the sole complete ecclesiastical work by Antoni Gaudi located outside the region of Catalonia.
