Jose Fernando Abraila

Es Bien de Interés Cultural desde 1992. Es un palacio cargado de historia, modificaciones y en lucha constante consigo mismo, ya que sus dos fachadas rivalizan en protagonismo.

El Palacio Episcopal de Murcia es un edificio histórico del siglo XVIII que destaca por su impresionante fachada de color rosa y su arquitectura barroca. Ubicado junto a la Catedral en la Plaza del Cardenal Belluga, este palacio es la sede de la Diócesis de Cartagena. Su exterior es elegante y armoniza perfectamente con el entorno monumental de la plaza. Los detalles ornamentales de la fachada son de gran belleza y calidad artística. Aunque generalmente no se puede acceder al interior, el edificio vale la pena ser contemplado desde el exterior. Es un testimonio importante del patrimonio religioso y arquitectónico de Murcia. Un lugar emblemático que complementa la visita a la Catedral.
