It shows objects and images to learn about the rites and objects of Holy Week in Bercianos de Aliste.

The alistana brown capes that the brothers wear in numerous religious acts, the linen clothing with which they parade on Good Friday, or the papal bulls dating from the 16th century and that attest to the historical importance of these rites, are some of the treasures that are kept in the center. In addition, of course, to the images that the prestigious photographer Rafael Sanz Lobato took in the sixties and that contributed to putting Bercianos de Aliste on the map.

But the highlight of the Holy Week Interpretation Center is that it manages to bring the visitor closer to the keys by which this ritual was declared an Asset of Intangible Cultural Interest and a Festival of Tourist Interest in Castilla y León. And why, with several centuries of history, continues to arouse intense devotion among the brothers and other residents of the town.
