Destriana Village Well

Highlight • Monument

With probable origins in Roman times, Destriana was repopulated during the Reconquest through a monastery founded by Ramiro II, who granted it royal property. In fact, his grandson King Ramiro III was buried here. Later, in the 12th century, the town passed into the hands of the Order of Santiago.

Cathedral of Saint Mary of Astorga

Highlight • Religious Site

It occupies the site that according to tradition was the house of Santa Marta, patron saint of Astorga. There are reasons to believe that there was one of the many monasteries that Astorga had in the Middle Ages.

Pilgrim Monument

Highlight • Monument

Statue of a pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago in Astorga, Spain.
This work by Sendo, who sadly passed away in 2022, represents a walker with his hat, his cane and his luggage on his shoulder. It is located at the gates of the municipal pilgrims' hostel, at the confluence of the Vía de la Plata and the Camino Francés. It is a bronze reproduction of a very similar work by Sendo himself which was installed in 2004 in front of Gaudí's Palace and which was burned in an act of vandalism.

Graffiti

Highlight • Monument

In this case, the scene captured is that of a great tradition linked to Astorga: that of the mantecadas. If it is in black and white, it is because it is a faithful copy of a photograph from 1927. In this photo/mural, the cajilleras appear, the women who were responsible for manually assembling the boxes where the mantecadas were introduced.

Astorga

Highlight • Settlement

In Astorga, it's worth taking a short walk to enjoy the city's impressive architecture: Above all, of course, the cathedral and the Episcopal Palace, designed by Antoni Gaudí, the architect known for masterpieces such as the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Today, the Museo de los Caminos (Roads Museum) is located in the Episcopal Palace, which is also worth a visit. In Plaza de España, you can also sit comfortably and have a coffee with a view of the equally impressive town hall.

Lagunas de Somoza Windmill

Highlight • Monument

Ruins of a fairly well consolidated cylindrical tower. It has a walk-in entrance. It was built on a gentle hill by the lord of Lagunas de Somoza as a sign of his acquired power.
