Refugio Antiaéreo de la Guerra Civil
Two underground galleries built beneath the Municipal Market during the Civil War to shelter residents from bombing raids, now turned into a refuge-museum. Panels and exhibitions explain the history of the shelters and everyday life during the conflict; access is by guided visit.
Beneath the Municipal Market in Cullera, two underground galleries were dug during the Civil War to shelter residents from bombing. Today they are presented as the Civil War Air-Raid Shelter.
What it tells
Through panels and displays, the route explains how these shelters were built, what it felt like to go down into them when the sirens sounded, and what daily life was like in a coastal town during the war. It's one of the few places in the area where the conflict is told from underground, with the cold and the cramped galleries forming part of the story.
How to visit
Access is by guided tour, so it's worth checking the times before you go. Given its location, it goes hand in hand with a walk through the modernist market right above it.
