The palace was built in the early 12th century by order of Archbishop Diego Gelmírez. Serving as his residence and administrative center, it is regarded as one of the few civic Romanesque buildings in Spain. Over the centuries, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements were added. Today, it forms part of the Museo da Catedral de Santiago de Compostela and displays sculptures and decorative pieces, including works related to Maestro Mateo. From this building, visitors can access two separate routes — one leading to the Pórtico da Gloria, and another to the cathedral’s rooftop.
