The Refugi de la Guerra Civil is a ten-metre-deep, semi-underground tunnel made of brick and cement that leads to a rectangular air-raid shelter. During the Spanish Civil War, the Refugi de la Guerra Civil was part of a group of shelters in the area of the former “Camp d'aviació”. Of the three shelters that still exist, the Refugi de la Guerra Civil is the best preserved.
