The town Hitler's Condor Legion bombed in 1937 — now home to a deeply moving peace museum

Guernica's seminal experience is a visit to the peace museum, where audiovisual displays calmly reveal the horror of war and hatred, both in the Basque Country and around the world. A deeply moving tribute to the 1937 bombing — when Franco invited Hitler's Condor Legion to test saturation bombing on a civilian population. A copy of Picasso's iconic painting hangs in the entrance hall.
