San Pedro Cultural Becerril de Campos
About This Museum
People don't just come to San Pedro Cultural for the art; they come for the stars. This is a place where a 15th-century church skeleton has been ingeniously repurposed into a celestial observatory and planetarium. You walk on a glass floor that reveals archaeological remains beneath your feet, while the old stone walls now frame projections of constellations. It’s a breathtaking dialogue between medieval history and modern science, all under the vault of a deconsecrated nave.
Collection Highlights
The main event is the planetarium itself, where high-tech projectors cast the night sky onto the ancient apse. Don't miss the Meridian Line, a precise solar clock that cuts across the floor, marking noon with a beam of light in a perfect fusion of architecture and astronomy.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away in the small village of Becerril de Campos, so it feels like discovering a secret. Check their website for planetarium showtimes, as that's really the heart of the experience.
Architecture & Building
The building is the star—a beautifully weathered Gothic-Mudejar church with its roof removed, leaving just the skeletal stone walls and arches open to the Palencian sky.
