Palacio de Camposagrado Oviedo

"A historic building that stands out for its imposing Baroque façade and its location in the heart of the city.

Although it's not always possible to visit the interior, it's worth a visit to appreciate its architectural details and its importance in local history.

A place that adds character and elegance to Oviedo's old town."

G. C.

"It is a Baroque-style palace with a central courtyard, located in Oviedo's Cathedral Square. The building dates back to the mid-18th century and was commissioned by the 3rd Marquis of Camposagrado, and has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest in the Monument category. Located in Plaza Porlier, next to the Cathedral, it has currently been the headquarters of the High Court of Justice of Asturias since 1989."

"The Composgrado Palace dates back to 1698, when the Bernaldos de Quirós family began a series of renovations to their properties, which included the building's land. The renovations were initially commissioned to Pedro Fernández Lorenzaga and Domingo Suárez Solar, who included the construction of a building on the same site among their submitted projects, which was rejected. It was not until 1719 when the architect Francisco de la Riva began work on a new building commissioned by the Marquis of Composagrado, even constructing foundations and facades similar to the Palace of the Duke of Parque. The construction was resumed by the architect Pedro Antonio Menéndez de Ambás in 1744, with the majority of it completed in 1752. Although it is known as the Palace of Camposagrado, it is not very representative of that noble title, because its owner began to use it in the last nine years of his life, his children were not born there and his grandson, the fifth Marquis of Camposagrado, the only one who was born there, married and lived in Barcelona where he is considered a leading man of the city, dying without descendants."
