Gaudi
Overview of the architect, his creative language, Astorga in the context of his work and links with other Gaudí buildings outside Catalonia (Casa Botines and El Capricho).
The
gardens
In its configuration, it seems clear that Gaudí intended the design of the building to be very respectful of the history of the city. Well aware of the religious ideals of Bishop Grau, Gaudí applied his own neo-Gothic vision to the exterior of the palace. The architect Ricardo García Guereta faced the challenge of finishing the top floor and the roofs of the building. The palace is divided into four floors, the first two constitute, as Gaudí established, the public area of the Palace.
Gaudí’s Way
The Gaudí Way is a project led by those responsible for Gaudí’s only three buildings outside Catalonia: Gaudí Palace in Astorga, Casa Botines in León and El Capricho in Comillas.
Under the idea of pilgrimage that connects our routes with those of El Camino de Santiago there is much more.
