Spanish Civil War 1936–1939
Mansueto fort (Valdecebro)
Trenches & fortifications
The story
Mansueto is a promontory guarding the south-eastern approach to Teruel above Valdecebro. The Republicans fortified it not with the usual sandbagged trenches but with a small fort of thick concrete and brick walls, roofed with a concrete slab on railway rails. It formed part of the Republican ring around Teruel.
What you can see today
Broken wall sections with firing loopholes and fragments of the concrete roof.
Plan your visit
It is a short walk from Valdecebro, about 5 km east of Teruel. The site is ruined, so watch your footing.
