Museum
The story
The Republican Army built this airfield in 1936–37 with Soviet machinery. After the Nationalist drive to the sea in April 1938 cut the Republic in two, it was captured and used by Nationalist squadrons and the German Condor Legion. From here they flew against Valencia and over the Battle of the Ebro. It was abandoned after the war. The surviving command house now holds the Centre d'Aviació Històrica de la Sénia, with aircraft and aeronautical items, and the site is protected as local cultural heritage.
What you can see today
The original command building with the museum, aircraft on display, and the flat former landing field.
