Description

The report of the Consular Corps accredited to Barcelona between 1936 and 1938 is a document that reflects the importance of foreign relations at a time of maximum political and military tension. Despite the internal conflict, Catalonia maintained diplomatic ties with several countries, showing its will to be recognized as a political and cultural actor within the European context. This document shows the presence of an active consular network, key to the protection of foreign citizens, international mediation and the country’s external projection. It is a testament to how, even in times of war, diplomacy and international cooperation remained essential tools for peace, dialogue and the defense of human rights.
