Junto a la Catedral de Barbastro se levantó, a finales del siglo XVI, el Palacio que serviría de residencia a su obispo. Concebido entonces con las premisas de la arquitectura renacentista aragonesa, el edificio ha sido objeto de diversas intervenciones arquitectónicas a largo de su historia. La más reciente, financiada por el Gobierno de Aragón, se inició en 2006 y tiene por objeto acondicionarlo para nuevos y diferentes usos, entre los que destaca la ubicación del Museo Diocesano que atesorará importantes piezas de arte religioso. Este artículo estudia las intervenciones a que ha sido sometido el Palacio a lo largo de su historia y el impacto social que ha causado la actual. La realización de una serie de entrevistas permite constatar que la opinión de los ciudadanos de Barbastro es inicialmente muy favorable a la rehabilitación del Palacio, pero está sensibilizada por dos aspectos: el pleito que por la cuestión de las piezas mantiene la diócesis de Barbastro con su homóloga de Lérida y la importante inversión económica que esta obra supone para la Comunidad Aragonesa.
Next to Barbastro’s Cathedral, at the end of the XVI century, was built the Palace which would be the residence of its Bishop. It was conceived following the premises of the Aragon Renaissance architecture but it has suffered several changes through its history. The most recent, financed by the Aragon Government, started in 2006, and its aim is to set it up for new and different uses, like the location of the Diocese Museum, which will house important religious art pieces. This article studies the changes and interventions suffered by the Palace through its history and the social impact caused by the last one. A series of interviews carried out, allows us to state that the opinion of the citizens from Barbastro is quite positive regarding to the restoration of the Palace, but it is influenced by two aspects: the trial between Barbastro’s Diocese with the Diocese of Lerida due to the art pieces and the significant economic investment that this restoration would mean for the Aragon Comunity.
