The Museum of Sacred Art at the Basilica of Our Lady of the Holm Oak is a project made possible through the collaboration between the Ponferrada City Council, the Diocese of Astorga , and the Las Exposition "Edades del Hombre" Foundation. The museum brings together pieces from the region that help us understand the evolution of Christianity in this area and the deep devotion to Our Lady of the Holm Oak. The exhibition space includes sculpture, painting, gold and silver work, and liturgical documents. The visit concludes with a climb to the top of the lookout tower. From there, the views encompass all of Ponferrada , along with the surrounding valleys and mountains.
