One of the best examples of fascist-francoist architecture in Spain. Built up in 1948 it represents perfectly the megalomania and religious perspective of that time's regime. It is a huge building (2 times and a half bigger than El Escorial in Madrid) conceived as a self suficient little town.

It echoes El Escorial a lot,but you can easily see it's not a good copy.

It has been almost abandoned during years, considered to be a hateful symbol of a murderous regime.
