Presó provincial, Former provincial prison in Tarragona, Spain.
The building features a square layout with stone towers at each corner, constructed with carved stone and following vernacular architectural principles.
The provincial prison operated from 1953 until 2015, serving as a central point of incarceration during the Franco regime in the Tarragona region.
The facility now hosts an exhibition about prison conditions and legal processes during the Franco dictatorship, documenting the experiences of political prisoners.
Located at Avenida República Argentina 2, the building maintains regular visiting hours for guided tours through advance reservations with Territorial Services.
The prison structure incorporates castle-like elements in its design, with four corner towers forming a distinctive silhouette in the urban landscape.
