San Pedro Cultural, Castile and Leon, Spain

Interesting Guided Tour
San Pedro Cultural: it is a Center related to Astronomy that went from being a ruined building from the 12th century, to being a multicultural Center where a series of different cultural shows are held, as well as exhibitions and talks. It is a perfect combination between history and science by mixing the existing ruin with a reform that respects the existing remains harmoniously combined with the new construction including a new cover with dark tones to get to hide the new and highlight the old. Related to astronomy we find a foucault pendulum, a meridian line, the cover of stars, among others.

We will definitely be coming back
We are overwhelmed by the beauty and history of San Pedro Cultural and the brilliant idea of creating museum dedicated to astronomy and astrology. We were absolutely mesmerised by friendly, informative, knowledgeable tour guide Carmen. We would highly recommend visiting this little treasure in Becerril de Campos, province Palencia.

A magical place in a quiet town
An unexpected magical place in a rather hidden and quaint town. This is a clever idea to reuse an abandoned church. A place of faith is now a place to learn science.
