Walking tour: The Last Defence of Barcelona
11.00h
The Last Defence of Barcelona Tour was created as a result of the discovery of various fortifications: trenches, machine gun hideouts, shelters, bomb craters, observation points.
The guided tour starts in the centre of El Pago from where we enter the forest to visit the trenches and the nearest machine gun hideouts. On the way back we visit the Interpretive Centre.
“The Last Defence of Barcelona refers to the events that took place in Subirats on January 22nd and 23rd, 1939. Following the defensive lines drawn by General Vicente Rojo, the Republican soldiers built fortifications on both sides of the N-340 motorway from El Pago to the Coll d’Ordal, but the Francoist army carried out a maneuver to encircle the troops loyal to the Republic. The weakened troops resisted for a couple of days, affording many Republicans the opportunity to flee Barcelona into exile.”
