Porlier Prison

Porlier Prison was a prison during Spanish Civil War and post-war period, using the building of the Calasancio School. Many prisoners (nationals and republicans) were victims of the sadly known "sacas" and executed in the middle of the night. It was open until 1944 when it was returned to the Church and it became a school again. Nowadays it still is the Calasancio School.
