In this place, history is intertwined with memory and the need to remember the dark events of our past. The words of the prisoners, like the Anthem of the prisoners of the Castuera concentration camp, remind us of sadness and the fight for freedom. Today, this field is declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and represents a crucial part of our historical memory.
