This air-raid shelter was made to last. Built in 1938, with 357,86 m² of useful space it could fit up to 600 people. The Spanish civil war was considered the precursor to World War II, hence this air-raid shelter received one of the first massive bombings, that of Girona. Listen to the stories and be exposed to history’s best kept secrets.

An astonishing staircase with a rustic facade on top. The Pujada de Sant Domenec is something to gaze upon. An Augustinian monastery, then a prison, and finally a church. This spot is all about history and myth alike.
