Cartagena Civil War Shelters Museum Ticket
Cartagena Civil War Shelters Museum Ticket
By booking your ticket to the Civil War Shelters Museum, you'll be able to visit an incredible museum dedicated to remembrance and awareness of Cartagena's recent history. During your visit, you'll discover how Cartagena was a strategic point and a prime target for bombing during the Spanish Civil War.
The museum was built in a tunnel on the slopes of Concepción Hill. This place was one of many air raid shelters constructed during the Spanish Civil War in response to bombing raids by the rebel side. The heaviest of these attacks was in Cartagena, on 25th November 1936, when the Condor Legion subjected the city to intense bombardment.
With this ticket, you can stroll through the galleries and listen to the testimonies of the people affected. You'll learn all about how the defence was organised and the changes that this conflict caused in their lives. In addition, you'll have audiovisual material with real images and sounds from this period of Spanish history.
