Centro Cultural Fundación Unicaja de Málaga

This guide to the Centro Cultural Fundación Unicaja in Málaga centers on the night of 11 May 1931, when a mob gathered outside the bishop's palace weeks after Spain's Second Republic was declared. You'll hear how Bishop Manuel González rushed to save what he could from his chapel before the building burned, part of a wave of church burnings across the country that week, and why he chose to slip away to Gibraltar rather than stay. The guide follows him through years running his diocese from Madrid before Rome moved him on.
