Shelter 307, Civil War air-raid shelter in Poble Sec, Barcelona, Spain

The underground complex features 200 meters of tunnels with white-painted brick walls, three entrances, and corridors measuring 2.1 meters high and 2 meters wide.

Engineers and citizens constructed this shelter between 1937 and 1939 to protect 2000 residents from Italian aerial bombardments during the Spanish Civil War.

The shelter contains original facilities including toilets separated by gender, an infirmary with bunk beds, a water fountain, and a children's play area.

The Barcelona History Museum offers guided tours in English every Sunday at 10:30 AM, with advance reservations required through email at reservesmuhba@bcn.cat.

After the war, families inhabited the shelter for extended periods, with one resident building a permanent fireplace near an exit during the 1940s.
