Casa Cornide

Overview

  • Casa Cornide was designated a Bien de Interés Cultural in October 2023, obliging the Franco heirs to open and conserve the 18th-century palace.
  • Xunta de Galicia imposed a €3,000 fine and later had it upheld by a regional tribunal after heirs failed to satisfy public-access requirements.
  • The reservation system allows only Monday visits from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. with a maximum of five guests per hour, totaling 20 visitors each week.
  • Reservations opened on July 30 for tours beginning August 4 through the website casacornide.simplybook.it.
  • Concello de A Coruña continues legal proceedings to annul Franco-era decrees and reclaim Casa Cornide as a public asset.
