Manage episode 495822738 series 63543
The roots of Madrid's Municipal Historical Library date back to the year 1875. Since then, it has been located in different areas of the city until it reached its final and current location in the Condeduque Cultural Center.
The evolution of this library has been a reflection of the evolution of the city and its people. With a collection of around 220,000 volumes, from the 15th to the 21st century, in its almost 150 years of history, it has become a reference institution and one of the most relevant libraries in the region.
The exhibition "Madrid entre libros" gives us a look into the history of this library and showcases some of the most special volumes in its collection. Librarians Esther Valverde and Carmen Conde took us on a tour around the exhibit.
And after that, we learn about the "Naval Battle" of the city of Vallecas.
