Guided Tours of the Civil War Air Raid Shelter at Plaça de la Revolució

The guided tours of the air raid shelter located beneath Plaça de la Revolució provide a riveting exploration of Barcelona's historical significance during the Civil War. This unique site, designated as Shelter 267, was one of over ninety built in the Gràcia neighborhood to protect residents from aerial bombings. Closed in 1939, the shelter remained hidden until its rediscovery during parking construction in 1994. The surviving elements of the structure include a fragment of the hallway, the infirmary, and the pharmacy, showcasing the historical context of health and hygiene during air raids. The tour emphasizes preservation, with minimal intervention to maintain the original design, allowing visitors to engage with the authentic atmosphere of this significant historical site.
