Gaudí's episcopal palace, in Astorga, is a neo-Gothic style building designed by the modernist architect Antonio Gaudí. Due to its uniqueness, it constitutes one of the most outstanding buildings in Astorga's monumental heritage. In 1963 it became the Caminos Museum, and numerous and outstanding pieces from the Diocese of Astorga are exhibited, including prehistory, epigraphy and Roman numismatics, religious art from various periods and contemporary art.

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.

The Bishop's Palace of Astorga is the work of the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí, the most important representative of modernism.

This modernist and neo-Gothic style building represents an ensemble combining castle, church and manor house, whose exterior facades in white granite are particularly impressive. Today it houses the Museum of the Way of St. James. The original project was designed by Gaudí in 1887, but was completed by the architect Ricardo García Quereta. When planning the project, Gaudí clearly had in mind the history of the city, but designed its facades in his own neo-Gothic style.
