Abstract

The College of San Buenaventura in Murcia is intimately linked to the history of the aforesaid city and the Capuchin Order. The Capuchin friars, when they arrived from Totana to the capital, engaged the main political and religious figures of the 1940s and 1950s in the foundation of an institution that would guide the youth of Murcia with Franciscan rigor. Through the study of archival sources, some manuals and the principal Capuchin publications and bulletins from the middle of the twentieth century, it is possible to ascertain the vicissitudes suffered by the religious in the erection and consolidation of an educational center, which in a very few years managed to increase exponentially the number of students who entered and to maintain itself as a school of reference in the educational panorama of Murcia.
