In the 20th century Saint-Cyprien was the site of a camp housing some 70,000 Republican escapees from Spain at the end of the Spanish Civil War. They were held in very poor conditions,[3] in open spaces enclosed by barbed wire, from which they were not allowed to leave.[4]
During the Second World War it was used to intern people before they were sent to extermination camps.
