Ep.02 - Los Bunkers del Carmel, Barcelona

Today we will visit one of the most unique historical sites in the city of Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain - Los Bunkers del Carmal, also know as MUHBA turó de la Rovira

MUHBA Turó, also known as the Bunker, is a former anti-aircraft battery site located at the top of Turó de la Rovira, an hill in the Guinardó district of Barcelona. Built during the Spanish Civil War between 1937 and 1939, it serves as a defensive position to protect the city from bombings.

After the war, the site was abandoned for many years until it got rediscovered in the 1990s. It was then restored and transformed into a public park and historical site that is open to visitors.

Today, the site serves as a museum that showcases the history of the Spanish Civil War and the role of Barcelona during that time. The museum features exhibits, photographs, and artifacts that help visitors understand the impact of the war on the city and its people.

In addition to the museum, the Bunker also houses an antenna that is still in use today as a part of the telecommunications infrastructure that serves Barcelona and the surrounding area.

The Bunker is not just a historical site, but also a place of cultural significance. The site is now a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering panoramic views of the city and hosting events such as concerts, art exhibitions, and historical tours.

The MUHBA Turó is a fascinating piece of Barcelona's history, showcasing the city's resilience during wartime and its transformation into a cultural hub. If you ever find yourself in Barcelona, be sure to add this historical site to your itinerary.
