Episcopal Palace/ Museum
This building was commissioned by Bishop Lasala in the 18th century. Its main façade, together with that of the Virreina Palace in Barcelona, is one of the most important examples of Catalan neo-classical design.
The Episcopal Palace houses one of Catalonia’s first diocesan museums. It has rooms dedicated to prehistoric times, important collections of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque pieces, and also a room dedicated to salt sculptures, made with the salt from the mines in Cardona.
