    The Palacio Gaudi

    May 25, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F

    Another Work by architect A. Guadi who was the principal of Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. After a side chapel of the Astorga cathedral burned down he was commission by the bishop to create an Episcopal home. Work progressed, but the Bishop passed away and the new bishop wasn’t the same type of manager and waffled. Gaudi was already working on the Familia, so they had to get someone else to finish. No bishop actually lived there and it’s now a museum for The Camino, Roman antiquities, and Gaudi. The original Cruz Ferro is there.Read more
