Visit to the Archivo de Indias
- Start: 11:00 am.

- Visit the Exhibition "The Last Voyage of the Mercedes Frigate": In 1804, two months after leaving the port of Montevideo, the frigate Mercedes is attacked by surprise by a British squadron in order to seize its precious cargo, being sunk . Two centuries later, an American treasure hunt company locates the remains of the sinking, and extracts the coins immediately provoking the reaction of the Spanish Government. After more than five years of struggle in the American courts, Spain finally achieves that the plundered is returned.
- This fascinating story contains several stories: The one of a specific time in the history of Spain, the one of the international relations at the beginning of the XIX century, the one of the lives of the crew of the Mercedes ... but also, and in a special way, the history of an expolio of our cultural heritage.
