Civil War Shelters Museum, Underground war museum in Cartagena, Spain.
The Civil War Shelters Museum contains a network of tunnels carved into Concepción Hill, featuring exhibits about civilian protection during wartime.
During the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, these underground galleries sheltered over 5,500 Cartagena residents from aerial bombardments.
The museum displays photographs, documents, and personal objects that tell stories of local families who sought protection in these tunnels.
Guided tours in multiple languages take visitors through three main galleries, with adapted facilities for visitors with reduced mobility.
The museum includes an audiovisual room where original recordings and images transport visitors to the sounds of wartime sirens and bombings.
