The post School network in the province of Albacete in the middle of the 18th century first appeared on History Lab.

]]> If the aim is to analyse the educational system in the rural world of present-day Albacete in the mid-18th century, it is necessary to know from the outset the number and typology of the educational institutions that provided services, their geographical distribution and their financing. The backbone of these institutions was the teachers, who were in direct contact with potential students and whose professional and social situation was very much determined by the context in which they found themselves.
Thanks to the data provided by the General Answers of the Ensenada Cadastre (1750-1756), it is possible to quantify the educational centres in operation and their location in the mid-18th century. To this we can add the information provided by the Personnel Books of laymen and ecclesiastics from different territories of La Mancha, Cuenca and Murcia, what we know today as Albacete and the 87 municipalities represented on the map.
Of the 87 municipalities that currently make up Albacete, 45 had at least one school (51.7%), making it one of the territories with the highest percentage of schools in the whole country. Although the numbers are encouraging, an irregularity can be observed in terms of school distribution, with the greatest concentration in the northern part of Albacete, corresponding to the former province of Cuenca. The data also show a central area with much less concentration, with large areas without teachers, such as the area between El Bonillo, Alcaraz and Peñas de San Pedro, partly due to municipalities with few inhabitants, sometimes with less than 200 inhabitants.
The distribution of the school network in this area and at this time tended to respond to factors specific to the different municipalities, such as agricultural productivity, the intensity of monetary circulation, the concentration of inhabitants or the role of the town councils as the backbone of literacy.

The post The Inquisition in 15 minutes first appeared on History Lab.

]]> In this 15-minute educational video produced by Academia Play, the Visual Thinking technique is used to explain the importance of the Spanish Inquisition or Tribunal of the Holy Office created in 1478 by the Catholic Monarchs. The video focuses on disproving misinformation through a series of contrasted references about the origin, purpose and way of acting. The description of the video states: “In this video we are going to talk about the Inquisition, and above all we are going to focus on the Spanish Inquisition. When we hear the word inquisition we immediately think of death, torture, fanaticism, intolerance, control and fear…. These characteristics undoubtedly existed and that is why this phenomenon has tended to be explained from a somewhat sensationalist and often distorted point of view. In this video we are going to refute a series of commonly accepted clichés, most of the time due to the bombardment of erroneous information. At the end of the video we will include a small bibliography for those who want to approach this subject from a rigorous approach. We have been advised by Don César Cervera Moreno”.

The post Ferrol Shipbuilding Museum first appeared on History Lab.

]]> The Museum of Naval Construction, located in the Herrerías building, has managed to maintain the architectural structure typical of the 18th century. The important thing to note is that it houses two floors dedicated to the history of shipbuilding. On the ground floor we can access the different construction techniques, where we can also see in more detail the operation and the different parts of a ship.
On this visit we can see the wreck of the Fragata Magdalena, sunk in the Vivero estuary in 1810 and recovered by the Navy between the 1970s and 1980s.
On the upper floor there are a series of themed rooms such as the one dedicated to the Astano shipyard, called “Miracle in the Estuary”. Other rooms are dedicated to the Navy, its Ships and its Schools; the Shipping Companies, the Ports, etc.

The post Royal Chapel of Granada first appeared on History Lab.

]]> The royal chapel of Granada, which was erected to preserve the remains of the Catholic Monarchs, was built in Gothic style between 1505 and 1517. The 16th century is the century of the chapel’s fullness, where the sobriety of the building is highlighted. Under Emperor Charles I it continued to flourish with all kinds of decorations. Today, the mark left by Queen Isabella, in a certain sense, marks the large number of visits that take place every year. On this website, users can access the history of the monument, as well as take a guided tour where they can see the different cultural contributions that the chapel has undergone over the last 500 years. This portal also contains complementary information on the Lonja, built in 1518 by the Granada City Council.
