Pozoblanco-Noia Postcard Swap - MARÍA

Another postcard from Pozoblanco! In this case, we have the town hall of our sister town, in a postcard sent by María.

On the back, she gives us some information about the building, and asks us for some interesting piece of information. Here it goes, María! Did you know that our Language School (and Virxe do Mar school) building WAS Noia's Town Hall until the 1950s? 

Because during the first days of the Civil War, our town was staunchly Republican, one of the 'punishments' it had to suffer was the suppression of its High School. Only after much begging, and with the Town Hall administration providing its own building for it, was the school reopened.

Thanks, María!
