Spanish Civil War 1936–1939
Las Viñas bunker (Teruel)
Trenches & fortifications
The story
The Las Viñas sector around Teruel cemetery was contested from the very start of the war. A defence line on the ridge above the prison watched the Turia riverbed and the old Zaragoza road below the city. This concrete observation fort and bunker is one of its surviving pieces, on the edge of Teruel itself.
What you can see today
A thick-walled concrete fort used as an observatory, a rifle post and a bunker.
