during the devastating spanish civil war (1936–39) the city quickly went over to the nationalist side and was used as the "de facto" capital. franco was named "generalissimo" on 21 september 1937 while at the city, and in the same year was formed, by a decree signed in the city, the official fascist party that ruled spain until the end of the francoist regime, officially suppressing any other political party. the nationalists soon moved most of the administrative departments to burgos, which being more central was better suited for this purpose. however, some administrative departments, franco's headquarters (located at the palacio episcopal, next to the old cathedral) and the military commands stayed in salamanca, along with the german and italian fascist delegations, making it the "de facto" nationalist capital and centre of power during the entire civil war. like much of fervently catholic and largely rural leon and old castile regions, salamanca was a staunch supporter of the nationalist side and francisco franco's regime for its long duration.
