El Museo del Bierzo is situated in the city of Ponferrada, which is part of the Bierzo region in the province of León, within the autonomous community of Castilla y León. This location is significant as it provides visitors with a chance to explore not only the museum but also the rich cultural and historical heritage of the region.

Historical Significance of the Museum Building

The El Museo del Bierzo is housed in the historic palace of the Counts of Toreno, which was built between 1565 and 1572. This building has a rich history, having served as a consistorial palace during the reign of Philip II, the home of the corregidor, and later as the old jail of Ponferrada until the 18th century. This historical context adds a unique layer of interest to the museum visit.
