Built at the turn of the 20th Century, famed Catalan architect Antonio Gaudi’s Episcopal Palace of Astorga is a neo-medieval edifice in a style known as Mordernisme. Built of gray granite, it features elements characteristic of Gaudi’s later works including arched entrances with buttresses and chimneys integrated in the side façades.

Having received the original commission for the structure from his friend, Bishop Grau, Gaudi came into conflict with the council after the bishop’s death and, resigned. The palace was then completed by Ricardo Garcia Guereta in 1915.

During the Spanish Civil War, the palace served as the headquarters for the Falange, the party of Franco’s dictatorship.

The Palace is now a museum of religious art, known as the Museo de los Caminos.
