Huerta de San Vicente and its collection

Huerta de San Vicente
Source

The Huerta de San Vicente, popularly known as the Casa-Museo de Federico García Lorca, served as the summer residence of the García Lorca family from 1926 to 1936. This period was up until the assassination of the poet during the early weeks of the Spanish Civil War. The house and its orchards are located in the heart of the Federico García Lorca Park, which was inaugurated in 1995.

Literary Significance of Huerta de San Vicente

The Huerta de San Vicente is not just a historical residence, but also a place of great literary significance. It was here that Federico García Lorca wrote, in whole or in part, some of his masterpieces. These include 'Blood Wedding' (1932) and 'Yerma' (1934). The house served as a creative sanctuary for the poet, where he also received some of his famous friends.

Renovation and Interior of Huerta de San Vicente

The Huerta de San Vicente museum underwent a renovation in April 2018. The only reliable documents that could assist with the arrangement of the furniture were a series of photographs taken between 1926 and 1936. These images allowed for a precise definition of the interior layout, including the poet's writing desk, the gramophone, the grand piano, the couch, the Thonet chairs, the reproduction of Botticelli's Spring, and the art deco mirror.
