This museum aims to explain and commemorate the Spanish Civil War as it affected the Pallars. It shows how the front moved through these valleys, and the bunkers and other places that were fortified as the battles waxed and waned. It tells the story too of how the defeated Republican soldiers passed through these valleys into exile along with the civilians who also fled by the mountains passes towards France, in a terrible drama that we must hope will never be repeated.
Here you will see the remains of an old sanctuary and hospital, or lodging place, which in times long gone by welcomed foot travellers and horse riders making the often arduous journey between the Pallars and the Alt Urgell. It is accessible in winter with snowshoes or by Nordic skiing.
