Between 1936 and 1942, at least 197 victims of Francoist violence were buried at Serantes Cemetery in Ferrol. A multidisciplinary team from USC and CISPAC is now conducting an archaeological investigation to locate their remains, assess the condition of the graves and determine the prospects for future exhumation and identification.
On 21 September, CISPAC will host the research seminar Archaeological excavations at Cova Eirós and Gruta dos Bloques: two sites, two realities, which will present the results of the campaign carried out in August 2026 at these two sites on the slopes of Monte Penedo, in Cancelo (Triacastela).
CISPAC facilities are located in the Fontan building, the most recent addition to the Ciudad de la Cultura de Galicia (City of Galician Culture) complex. The building was inaugurated in October 2021 and houses other institutes such as the Consorcio Interuniversitario de Galicia (Galician Interuniversity Consortium) or the Agencia para la Calidad del Sistema Universitario (Agency for the Quality of the University System).
With 2,559 m2 of floorspace and room for up to 111 university researchers, CISPAC helps to consolidatethe Ciudad de la Cultura, a cultural macro-facility that generates 24 million euros in annual revenue from culturaland knowledge-intensive activities, including social entrepreneurship.
