Spanish Civil War 1936–1939
Civil War in Aragon interpretation centre (Robres)
Interpretation centre
The story
Robres lay just behind the Republican side of the Sierra de Alcubierre front, which was held from 1936 to 1938 by anarchist (CNT-FAI) and POUM militia columns and later by the Popular Army. The village's centre for the interpretation, study and documentation of the Civil War in Aragon covers the militia war and the static front. It also covers the collectives and social revolution in the Republican rear, and the Nationalist breakthrough of March 1938. It pairs naturally with the Ruta Orwell trenches in the hills nearby.
What you can see today
Exhibition rooms with panels, photographs, weapons and everyday objects from the front, plus a documentation centre.
