19th Century Abandoned School: A Window into Spain's Past

19th Century Abandoned School: A Window into Spain's Past

Nestled in the remote Valley of Valdivielso, Spain's Burgos province, stands an untouched relic: a 19th century school, that once provided education for orphaned girls.

In the heart of Spain’s Burgos province, within the Valley of Valdivielso, lies an abandoned school. Established in the 19th century as part of the Colegio de Huérfanos, this school catered to orphaned girls. This derelict building retains remnants of its original blueprint, mirroring an aspect of its former state in the local Casa Grande. Doña María del Carmen de Andino established the school in 1883 and it continued to operate until it was eventually abandoned. Today, this historical structure stands as a testament to its significant past.
