Bishop's Palace

Bishop's Palace Of Astorga
The Episcopal Palace of Astorga (Spanish: ''Palacio Episcopal de Astorga'') is a building by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. It was built between 1889 and 1913. Designed in the Catalan Modernisme style, it is one of only three buildings by Gaudí outside Catalonia. History When the original Episcopal Palace was destroyed by a fire in the 19th century, Bishop Juan Bautista Grau y Vallespinos of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Astorga decided to assign the design of the new building to his friend Antoni Gaudí. The two had become friends when Grau was Vicar-General in the Archdiocese of Tarragona and had inaugurated a church for which the architect had designed the high altar. When Gaudí received the commission, he was still working at the Palau Güell in Barcelona, and thus he could not move to Astorga to study the terrain and the area of the new construction. He therefore asked the bishop to send him photographs so Gaudí could plan the new project. Gaudí sent back his desig ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Archbishop's Palace, Valletta
The Archbishop's Palace or Archiepiscopal Palace (), known prior to 1944 as the Bishop's Palace (, ), is a palatial building in Valletta, Malta which is a residence of the Archbishop of Malta.

The building's construction was controversial, as the Order of St. John which at the time ruled Malta regarded Cagliares' plans to move the Bishop's seat to Valletta as impinging upon their jurisdiction over the city. Nevertheless, the building was mostly completed and the Diocese of Malta's administrative seat and Bishop's residence moved to Valletta by the mid-1630s. The cost of construction up to 1631 amounted to 12,000 scudi. Apart from administrative and residential functions, the palace was also a venue for greeting dignitaries and it housed the archdio ...

Bishop's Palace, Birgu
The Bishop's Palace () is a palatial building in Birgu, Malta which was a residence of the Roman Catholic Bishops of Malta. It was constructed in the 16th century.
