Welcome to the Camilo José Cela foundation, marquis from Iria Flavia, a cultural institution which has been set up for the promotion of the culture, knowledge of the work of his founder and its own research.

Camilo José Cela foundation, marquis from Iria Flavia, takes up five of the named "houses of the canons", architectural complex which was built at the end of XVIII century and restored to provide the inheritance given by Camilo José Cela, Iria Flavia, Padrón (A Coruña).

The first one is the museum house, where all his manuscripts can be found, which is something unusual within the universal literature, his personal library and most important prizes, among we can find the Nobel Prize in literature (1989).

The museum is placed in three of the three houses, which are baptized with names of writers from Padrón: Juan Rodríguez, Macías O Namorado and Nicasio Pajares rooms.

In this museum we can see the great part of Camilo José Cela inheritance, formed by a library of 40.000 volumes, an art gallery of 529 original plays and several personal collections of the writer. Besides, the inheritance by the poet José García Nieto is included as well, personal friend of Camilo José Cela, which library of 18.000 volumes taken by the most complete Spanish post war poetry in the Hispanic literature, as the one from the writer and journalist, José María Sánchez Silva, author of the most famous children's story, Marcelino pan y vino.

The last of the houses is used for the railway worker John Trulock, Camilo José Cela's grandfather, which gets back, throughout the original objects, the memory of the first Galician railway line, as the important part of the history of the Spanish railway.
