Barracks of Intxaurrondo

Spain

The Inchaurrondo Barracks, headquarters of the Gipuzkoa Command of the Civil Guard, is a police complex of the Civil Guard located on the outskirts of San Sebastián, Spain. It is named after the Intxaurrondo neighborhood in which it is situated. For much of the 20th century, it served as the central hub for the Spanish government's counter-terrorism efforts against the terrorist organization ETA, resulting in the deaths of 100 Civil Guard members stationed there by ETA attacks. Most major Spanish police operations against ETA were planned and coordinated from the Inchaurrondo Barracks, with security forces dismantling 278 ETA cells and arresting 1,550 ETA members, 437 of whom were apprehended by agents from the barracks. Some practices at the barracks were denounced as torture against individuals detained for their links to the terrorist organization, with some convictions, most notably that of the barracks' commander, General Enrique Rodríguez Galindo, who was sentenced to 71 years in prison for the Lasa and Zabala case.
