20의 아스토르가가지 명소 & 주요 장소

For me, this place is a piece of paradise on the Camino. Take a short break in the shade. Enjoy some of the delicacies (fruit, eggs, cake, etc.). In this atmosphere, it's easy to relax, rejuvenate, and move on more easily (and happier).

The Bishop's Palace of Astorga is one of only three buildings that Antoni Gaudí built outside Catalonia.

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.

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.

The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción in Rabanal del Camino is a beautiful architectural gem along the Camino de Santiago. This church, located in the small village of Rabanal del Camino in the province of León, was built in the 12th century and has undergone several renovations and extensions over the centuries. The church is of Romanesque origin and is believed to have been built by the Knights Templar, who protected the pilgrims who crossed the Montes de León on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

Very beautiful old cathedral with an attached museum. It is always worth a visit and there is a reduced entrance fee for pilgrims.

Impressive building as a waypoint on the Way of St. James.
