During the Civil War, 114 shelters were built all over the city, and today you can visit one of them that was found and recovered during the remodelling of the Plaza del Príncipe.
This 68-square-metre Civil War air-raid shelter is located in the heart of the city centre. Its exhibition contents are adapted to the original spaces of the shelter and, divided into thematic blocks, inform visitors about the most important events of the Civil War in Santander, the daily life of the people of Santander during that period and the devastating effects of the bombing on the population.
