Casa Cornide Opens to Public with Limited Monday Guided Tours

A firm €3,000 fine prompted the Franco heirs to launch a weekly Monday tour program requiring 24-hour reservations under the site’s BIC designation.

Overview

  • Official visits began August 4 with a first group including Mayor Inés Rey, historian Alfredo Vigo Trasancos, BNG leader Francisco Jorquera and Rubén Centeno.
  • Guided tours run every Monday from 9:00 to 13:00 in five hourly sessions restricted to five visitors per session.
  • Bookings must be made through an online portal at least 24 hours in advance and all photography, audio and video recordings are banned.
  • The BIC designation in October 2023 legally obliges the Franco family to open the mansion at least four times monthly after a firm €3,000 fine by the Xunta de Galicia.
  • Visitors can now view preserved architectural elements such as original Hospital de la Caridad staircases and Gothic-style doors from the Hostal de los Reis Católicos.
