Around 1,500 Barcelona civilians were killed during the air bombings of the Civil War, a fact that the government long silenced. Poble Sec was hit particularly hard, and a large air-raid shelter was built partially into the mountain at the top of C/Nou de la Rambla; this is one of some 1,200 in the city. Now converted into a museum, it's worth a visit; the tour takes about 45 minutes.
