Civil War air raid shelter

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Castellón (Region) Castellón de la Plana was bombed 44 times in total (4 by Republica aviation and 40 by Franco aviation, 4 of which were from the port, using warships). Finally, on June 14, 1938, Franco’s troops captured the city. During the Civil War (1936-1939), Castellón built as many as 43 public shelters and 237 private ones, housing between 20 and 150 people. The shelter in Tetuan Square can accommodate up to 200 people, given that they can sit, some even overnight, has toilets and even generators and air filters. Its structure features zigzag channels to prevent shrapnel from entering the interior in the event of an explosion near the door. Like all shelters, these have two entrances in case one of them is blocked. Currently, you can visit by appointment, at the tourist information office or by signing a contract through the website. We did this together with MUCC and Bambando Company. Ivanoa gives us a very interesting interpretation in the context of the barbarity of the time. With 70 steps it is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for people with heart conditions or mobility issues. Depth: 14m Total capacity: 200 people #February2025 #SpainTravel #Valencia
