More information
With a capacity for 400 people it was the largest shelter in Tortosa. It is a system of galleries one metre wide and two metres high, dug into clayey ground and rounded pebbles, with an earth floor, and lined with bricks and concrete.
A visit is highly recommended, as it reproduces very well the experience of being inside while the bombs fall outside.
