Chocolate Museum

Chocolate manufacturing was one of the main industries of Astorga and its region during the centuries XVIII to the XX, representing still today the means to make a living for several local families.

As a result of this activity and magnificence, a series of companies were created for its advertising and trading. All this tradition is reflected in this Museum where, in addition to what is necessary for the production and chocolate consumption, labels, posters, packaging, card collections, gifts from different factories can be seen, the outstanding collection of lithographic stones and the process followed from the artisan manufacture to machining.

The building that houses the museum is an elegant mansion from the early 20th century that was the residence, warehouse and factory of the astorgano chocolate maker D. Magín Rubio.
