Spanish Civil War 1936–1939
Aldehuela bunker
Trenches & fortifications
The story
Before the Battle of Teruel the Popular Army built a fortified line south of the city facing Nationalist positions such as the Muela de Villaspesa. This concrete observation post on the hill opposite Aldehuela cemetery is one of the few pieces of that line to survive intact. From inside, observers could see Teruel itself.
What you can see today
A domed concrete bunker with stepped courses left by its formwork, entered through a tunnel on the slope.
Plan your visit
It is near the Teruel–Aldehuela road, about 10 km south-east of Teruel, and is freely accessible on foot. Take a torch.
