Share

Welcome to the headquarters of the Museum of L'Hospitalet; the House of Spain.

Casa Espanya is a 16th century building then owned by the Llunell and Molines families. After successive marriages, the house became the property of the Spain family. At the end of the sixties of the s. XX, the City Council of L'Hospitalet acquired it to host the city's history museum. In 1975 it was declared a Cultural Property of National Interest. It currently houses exhibitions and museum services.

The mission of the Museum is to manage, preserve and disseminate the cultural and material heritage of Hospitalet de Llobregat, to show the reality of the city and highlight its cultural values of yesterday, today and tomorrow; strengthen local identity, the sense of community and contribute to the social cohesion of L'Hospitalet and its neighbourhoods.

In this audio guide you will find the route to follow in order to visit the exhibition on the democratic memory of l'Hospitalet located on the second floor of the house.

To start the exhibition itinerary, go to the screen you will find on the left side of the panel called 'Network of Memory Spaces of Catalonia'.

Then the audiovisual L’Hospitalet of the 20th century will give way. The subjugated city: The black night of Francoism (1939-1979) where you will see a collection of photographs ranging from what Casa de l'Harmonia looked like in the Franco era to the transformation of the streets and establishments of L'Hospitalet in throughout the 50s, 60s and 70s, and also images of important figures in the history of the city such as Quico Sabaté or a fragment of the video 'The voices of memory' with oral testimonies and, in the last part, a collection of photographs on the first demonstrations corresponding to the stage of the democratic transition.
