Casa De Colón
Museum and Memory. Objects tell your story. (Morning and
afternoon)
Visit, workshop, educational programme.
In May, the Casa de Colón is presenting a series of activities
intended for groups of pupils from for from primary and
secondary schools (Los objetos cuentan su historia), for
undergraduate students (El papel de las fuentes históricas),
senior citizens (Paramayo) and the general public (Micro
relatos en Facebook).
Our goal is to actively bring the public closer to the many
artefacts and documents that belong to the museum’s
collection, through the exploration of our galleries and the
familiarisation with the Casa de Colón Library. We also invite
people to write stories about an object, a creation proposal
which allow us to share different points of view on the
artefacts in the collection.

The Shelters of Gisbert Street were built in 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. Excavated in the Conception
Hill, they were the largest shelters in the city that could accommodate 5,500 people.
From the beginning to the end of the war, Cartagena suffered repeated bombings by the German and Italian
aviation. The reasons for these bombings were the fact that the harbour was the Republic’s naval base, the
place where support to the Republican arrived and it was the second center of war industry in the Republican
zone. In 2006, Gisbert Street shelters opened to the public allowing people remember some episodes of our
recent
history.
OS REVERENDOS: Behind this Galician-Portuguese name, two performers poets hide. They are lovers of good
texts, comedy and verbal sparrings. Os Reverendos intend to disseminate their message, open branches
wherever they go and start a new religion.
