Refugi 307 - Museu d’Història de Barcelona

This guide to Refugi 307 in Barcelona follows the neighbors of Poble Sec, mostly women, children and the elderly, who began hand-carving tunnels into Montjuic mountain in 1937 as fascist bombing raids pounded the city from the air. It walks through the zigzagged entrances, the infirmary and water well the diggers built underground, and the house rule someone scratched into the wall about what could not be discussed down there. Stand quietly in the corridor and picture a whole terrified neighborhood listening for planes overhead.
