"Alicante and the bombing during the Spanish Civil War"
English language tour guide - Visita en inglés
The city of Alicante suffered during Spanish Civil War (1936 - 1939) until 83 bombings in spite of being a city of rearguard. Its geographical location and the outcome of the war made Alicante the last bastion of the Republic's government, where it suffered in its port and sad end for many of the people who fled to exile.
Meet with us how the city is organized in this terrible circumstance and especially what was the operation of an air raid shelter.
The Séneca Air Rail Shelter and the Balmis Air Raid Shelter formed part of a network of about 100 underground shelters located throughout the city of Alicante.
There are intended to introduce visitors to the historical and social context that surrounded the construction and use of air raid shelters in Alicante during the Spanish Civil War.
Their architectural uniqueness and the humanitarian function for which they were designed render these air raid shelters a tangible testimony to pain’s recent history.
