Plaza de los Fueros & Museo de la Paz, Guernica

Plaza de los Fueros, Guernica

Image: Damian Corrigan
The main square in Guernica, rebuilt after the 1937 Nazi bombardment.

In this square is the Museo de la Paz (Peace Museum). It has a number of permanent and temporary displays dedicated to peace. The main peace exhibition is little more than polemic and merely preaches tired mottos like "we must work together to achieve peace" but the exhibitions on the Guernica bombing and the look at the history of Basque terrorism are excellent.
