  • Refugi antiaeri

The only one of the three collective air raid shelters built in 1938 that remains open to the public in the city. Designed by architect Ricard Giralt Casadesús, the space held up to 600 people and now features the screening of the documentary Amagats sota terra.

The venue

Refugi antiaeri

Reinforced concrete, perpetual humidity, and ten underground rooms designed in 1938.

Built below ground level to shelter over six hundred people during the Civil War, this cellular air-raid shelter retains its original structure of oval corridors and cement walls. The tour covers the passive defense chambers now managed by the Museu d'Història de Girona.
