Refugi Antiaeri del Poble Sec

C/Nou de la Rambla 175

About 1,500 Barcelona civilians were killed during the vicious air bombings of the Civil War, a fact that the government long silenced. As Poble Sec particularly suffered the effects of bombing, a large air-raid shelter was built partially into the mountain at the top of C/Nou de la Rambla; one of some 1,200 in the entire city. Now converted into a museum, it is worth a visit. The guided tour takes 90 minutes.

    Well, the telephone number is not correct and I live right behind the shelter, so I know it gives tours every Saturday and Sunday... Posted on May 16 2008 11:57
