The Cuzco palace, also known as the palace of Archbishop Moscoso, is an eighteenth-century building linked to the Catholic Church located in the center of V\u00edznar, a small town three kilometers from Alfacar<\/a> in northeastern Granada, about ten kilometers from the capital.<\/p>\n

The palace was occupied after the military uprising of July 1936 by factional forces to direct troop movements along a wide swath of the front and repel incursions by Republican forces. Captain Jos\u00e9 Nestares<\/a>, appointed head of the V\u00edznar sector, went to live in the palace during the first weeks of the war.<\/p>\n

From August 1936, V\u00edznar<\/a> became one of the bloodiest places of the Nationalist repression. According to different sources, hundreds or thousands of people were taken from the prison and driven from Granada in cars and then executed without a trial in a chilling routine.<\/p>\n

Nestares arrived in V\u00edznar, by order of General Orgaz, with a column of Falange and some assault guards, on July 27 to organize the front. He was housed in the palace until mid-August when he moved to a private house seized from an inhabitant of V\u00edznar.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Nestares, as head of the sector, was informed in his office in the palace of Cuzco of the arrival of those condemned to death. After receiving the permission, the prisoners were taken to La Colonia,<\/a> a former children’s playground, where they spent their last hours of life. Garcia Lorca arrived between August 17 and 19, according to various versions, in a dark red Buick, discovered, owned by Salvador Quesada, owner of Almacenes La Villa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8036,"template":"","inters_del_lugar":[118],"ruta":[122],"class_list":["post-8803","lugar","type-lugar","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","inters_del_lugar-complementary","ruta-route-alfacar-viznar"],"trid":"3792","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lugar\/8803"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lugar"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lugar"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"inters_del_lugar","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inters_del_lugar?post=8803"},{"taxonomy":"ruta","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ruta?post=8803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
