San Marcos, witness to historical memory
Conceived in the 12th century as a convent and hospital for pilgrims, San Marcos ended up being one of the main headquarters of the Order of Santiago, and one of the most representative buildings of the Plateresque style in Spain.
It is a building with centuries of life, a multitude of uses and historical episodes, many with lights, but also some with shadows. During the Civil War and the first years of the dictatorship, the building was used as a concentration camp, becoming one of the harshest prisons in the northwest of Spain. Thousands of prisoners passed through its walls, people of different profiles: intellectuals, politicians, military personnel and even women.
Over time, the memory of those who suffered in San Marcos has been rescued thanks to research and testimonies. At Paradores we want to defend and protect historical memory and the dignity of the victims. Historical memory is the heritage and guarantee of democracy.
