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 on display and, of course, for the imaginative architecture of the building.

When Gaudí was commissioned to build the episcopal palace, he was busy with various projects such as the Güell palace, the Güell pavilions, the Teresianas school and the Sagrada Familia, so he could not travel to Astorga to study the land and surroundings of the new building. In order not to delay the project, he asked the bishop to send him photographs, drawings and other information about the place, which would allow him to start designing the palace so that it would harmonize with the surrounding buildings. Once he had studied all the material received, Gaudí prepared the plans for the project and sent them.
