Most people walk past it without thinking twice.
But that building on Calle San Lucas has a lot more behind it than it looks.
What’s Happening
The process to declare the Masonic Temple of Santa Cruz as a Lugar de Memoria Democrática is moving forward.
It’s now open to public consultation for 20 days… meaning anyone can review the file and submit comments or objections.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just another historic building.
It’s being recognised as a site linked to the memory of those affected during the Franco-era repression.
So the aim here is not just preservation… but recognition.
A Bit of History
- Built between 1899 and 1902
- Originally used by the Añaza Masonic Lodge
- Protected as a BIC (Monument) since 2007
And now… potentially gaining another layer of significance.
What Happens Next
During this period:
- The full file can be reviewed online
- Anyone can submit alegaciones
- The process moves forward based on that input
Worth Knowing
It’s one of those places with a story most people don’t see…
…but decisions like this are about making sure it isn’t forgotten.
