Rosalía de Castro Foundation

Activity · Padrón, Sar, A Coruña

A Galician cultural institution established on 15 November 1947 by José Mosquera Pérez at the Hotel Compostela in Santiago, under the name Patronato Rosalía de Castro, which adopted its current name at an event held at the Colegio de Fonseca in 1995. It was founded with the aim of restoring the house where the writer spent her last years and turning it into a house museum -today the Casa da Matanza-, of caring for the Panteón de Gallegos Ilustres, and of spreading Galician culture. Among its aims is to promote knowledge of Rosalía, of her husband, the historian Manuel Murguía, and of their children, as well as to promote the study and dissemination of her work and of the Galicia of her time. It has been chaired since 2015 by Ángel Angueira Viturro, the ninth president in the institution's history.
