A Guarda’s Cultural Center is one of the most emblematic buildings in our town. Located in an Indian style building, it was built as an Asylum House Hospital at the beginning of the 20th century, to remedy the fault of sanitary infrastructures. Funded by a group of people from A Guarda who emigrated to America, it was inaugurated in 1921 under a project by the architect Tomás Bilbao Serrucha. Later it is transferred to Provincial Health, becoming secondary center of rural hygiene. In 1990, reforms were carried out to locate in the building or socio-cultural center, where today we can find the main cultural facilities of the town:
