Almería air raid shelters, Underground tunnels in Almería, Spain.

The network of underground shelters extends 4.5 kilometers beneath the streets of Almería, with tunnels positioned 8 meters below ground level.

Construction of these shelters began in January 1937 during the Spanish Civil War to protect 40,000 citizens from aerial bombardments.

The shelter network includes an operating room and storage facilities, demonstrating how civilians organized their daily life during wartime conditions.

Visitors can access the restored main gallery through an entrance at Plaza Manuel Pérez García, which runs along Paseo de Almería.

A single original architectural plan from 1937, printed on onionskin paper, documents the layout of this extensive underground network.
