The Bishops' Palace, also known as Palais des Évêques, is located in Saint-Lizier, Ariège. It is home to the collections of the Ariège Departmental Museum. This historic site offers a unique opportunity to explore the rich history and culture of the region through its extensive collections.
In 2004, the Bishops' Palace underwent a major restructuring project. This included the creation of a tourist residence, a restaurant in the palace cellars, and a cultural hub around a new departmental museum and the recently restored cathedral. These additions have greatly enhanced the visitor experience, offering a range of amenities and attractions within the palace grounds.
The Bishops' Palace is part of the sites of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France, which were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998. This recognition underscores the historical and cultural significance of the palace, making it a noteworthy site for those interested in the history of pilgrimage routes.
