Battle of Bailén Museum - Bailén
The Museum of the Battle of Bailén is mainly dedicated to the eponymous historic event of 1808, which was the first open-field defeat of the Emperor Napoleón Bonaparte and provoked a change in the course of the Spanish War of Independence (1808-1814). The museum’s main objective is to recount local history throughout the Battle of Bailén, as well as presenting the locality from different perspectives: patrimonial, historical and emotional. The museum constitutes a space for documentation, conservation, research and learning, in which details of the battle and its historical context are analysed. The museum also investigates other aspects related to the town of Bailén, like its remote past, natural and ethnological heritage, ceramic industry tradition and historical recreations of the Battle.
