The Trinitat prison, inaugurated in 1963, was the scene of prison repression against women in Catalonia during the last fifteen years of Francoism. Apparently, it was a modern center, but the objective was none other than to re-educate the inmates according to the criteria of the nuns of the Evangelical Crusades. There they locked up women convicted of common crimes and also political activists. For years, different entities have been fighting to ensure that the place does not disappear from the map and serves to remember this chapter of history, but until now the Barcelona City Council had maintained that it was not compatible with the urban development project. Finally, it has had to give in and part of the prison will be preserved because the process to declare the site a Good of Cultural Interest of Catalonia (BCIN) as a historical site has begun. "The Barcelona City Council ignored all the proposals we made," assures Pep Cruanyes, spokesperson for the Comissió de la Dignitat. "Their argument is that the housing plan construction project was very advanced and it was impossible to preserve anything from the center," he adds.
