    The Episcopal Palace is the official residence of the Bishop of Malaga and is a group of of buildings built next to Malaga Cathedral. The facade of the building is a fine example of Spanish Baroque with some beautiful sculptures easily visible from the facing Plaza del Obispo. Much of the palace is given over to religious art exhibitions, mostly of sculptures. Some of which are absolutely stunning, especially depictions of the Virgin Mary and St Francis of Assisi. Sadly, photographing the sculptures on exhibit is not permitted.

    A singular example of why Murcia is a place truly worthy of visiting. The Episcopalian Palace bursts with classical architectural finesse and an inspiring, historic air. If you are patient, the street before it can be empty of pedestrians, allowing for a clear photograph of the structure's splendid archways and centuries old contours.

    (Translated by Google) It is a jewel. On the beach of Cardenal Belluga we find this building of the eighteenth century, headquarters of the Diocese of Cartagena. Remember the Italian palaces of the Renaissance. Very well preserved, highlighting the painting and some shields on the side. There is no waste of entry through the back. If the comment has been useful, you can click on "I like it". Thank you. (Original) Es una joya. En la playa del Cardenal Belluga nos encontramos con este edificio del siglo XVIII, sede de la Diócesis de Cartagena. Recuerda a los palacios italianos del renacimiento. Muy bien conservado, destacando la pintura y algunos escudos por el lateral. Tampoco tiene desperdicio la entrada por la parte posterior. Si te ha servido el comentario, puedes pulsar en "me gusta". Gracias.

    (Translated by Google) the palace is very beautiful, a particular thing is the entrance to a church open 24 hours a day, to be visited even if it is very small, more like a chapel. (Original) molto bello il palazzo, cosa particolare c'è l'entrata per una chiesa aperta 24 ore al giorno, da visitare anche se molto piccolina, più simile ad una cappella.

    (Translated by Google) A must if you visit Murcia, if you can not access more, take a look at its central patio, sure you like it. At Christmas that same central courtyard houses a copy, or so I think, of Salzillo's crib that you can not miss. (Original) Una maravilla imprescindible si visitas Murcia, si no puedes acceder a más, echa un vistazo a su patio central, seguro que te gusta. En Navidad ese mismo patio central alberga una copia, o eso creo, del belén de Salzillo que no te puedes perder.

  • 5/5 María González G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is an 18th century building that serves as the seat of the Diocese of Cartagena. It overlooks the Plaza del Cardenal Belluga, where there is also the main entrance and door of the Cathedral of Murcia, and the Glorieta de España. There it has one of its most known elements, the "Hammer", a viewpoint that rises over the Segura River. The interior patio is decorated with some trompe l'oeil. At Christmas the municipal nativity scene is placed here. When the Belluga and the Glorieta doors are open at the same time, you can see the statue of Cardinal Belluga from the square that bears his name, which is quite curious and good material to make a photograph. (Original) Es un edificio del siglo XVIII que sirve como sede de la Diócesis de Cartagena. Da a la plaza del Cardenal Belluga, donde también está la portada y puerta principal de la catedral de Murcia, y a la Glorieta de España. Allí tiene uno de sus elementos más conocidos, el “Martillo”, un mirador que se alza sobre el río Segura. El patio interior está decorado con algunos trampantojos. En Navidad se coloca aquí el belén municipal. Cuando la puerta de Belluga y la de la Glorieta están abiertas al mismo tiempo, puede verse la estatua del Cardenal Belluga desde la plaza que lleva su nombre, lo que es bastante curioso y buen material para hacer alguna fotografía.

  • 4/5 Anton A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It could be more visitable and more open because still being a residence of the curia, history of Murcia and inside there is much and well preserved. It would help to have a better church concept. Still do not forget to see it if possible with a guide. (Original) Podría ser más visitable y más abierto pues aún siendo residencia de la curia, historia de Murcia y dentro hay mucha y bien conservada. Ayudaría a tener mejor concepto de la iglesia. Aún así no dejes de verlo a ser posible con guía.
