The Documentary Centre of Historical Memory

Thanks to places like the Historical Memory Documentary Centre, we’re reminded that a city’s heritage isn’t just about how many monuments it has. Since 2007, this space has welcomed both researchers and everyday visitors to explore a rich and varied archive covering some of the most pivotal moments in Spain’s history. Dive into the records to uncover stories from the Second Republic, the Spanish Civil War, and Franco’s dictatorship. What could be more fitting, given that this very building once served as Franco’s local headquarters during the 20th century? With a research department, a specialised library, and a constantly evolving media centre, the Historical Memory Documentary Centre remains a must-see for anyone wanting to understand the country’s complex and painful past.
