Peironcely Street, Robert Capa Square, and San Carlos Borromeo Parish declared Sites of Democratic Memory in Madrid

The State Secretariat for Democratic Memory has declared the complex comprising the building at 10 Peironcely Street, Robert Capa Square, its landscaped area, and the San Carlos Borromeo Parish in Madrid as a Site of Democratic Memory. This declaration is based on Law 20/2022 on Democratic Memory and aims to ensure the permanence, identification, and signage of this space linked to the 1936 bombings of the civilian population. The Administration will promote dissemination measures, digital resources, and interpretive signage to commemorate these events.

In 3 key points

  1. Interpretive memorial plaques, panels, distinctive markers, and audiovisual resources may be installed for dissemination purposes (Quinto)
  2. Any use of the site must be compatible with the preservation of memory and the recognition of victims (Quinto)
  3. A one-month period applies to file an optional appeal for reversal before the State Secretariat (Quinto)

How it affects those involved

The declaration does not alter the current use of the assets, but imposes the obligation that any use must be compatible with preserving the memory of human rights violations and recognising the victims. The General State Administration commits to creating audiovisual resources, installing plaques or panels, and geolocating the site on its web portal for educational and reparative purposes.
