Real Fábrica de Municiones y Armas portátiles, Military manufacturing complex in Trubia, Asturias, Spain.
The weapons factory extends across multiple buildings dedicated to the production of artillery pieces, ammunition, and military vehicle components.
The Spanish government established this facility in the late 18th century, strategically positioning it away from the French border during revolutionary tensions.
The factory formed a technical education center in 1850, creating the first School of Arts and Crafts for local industrial workers.
The location in Asturias provided direct access to essential raw materials including wood, iron, and coal for military production purposes.
In 1878, this facility produced the first steel artillery piece manufactured entirely within Spain, marking a milestone in national defense capabilities.
