Double bars might be the key mechanisms to transport gas to the very central regions of galaxies, so double-barred galaxies are key objects to better understand the galaxy formation and evolution scenarios. In order to disentangle the role of double bars in the galaxy build up, we are performing a whole kinematical and stellar population analysis of these objects from high S/N spectroscopic data.
