Spanish Civil War "Ciudad Universitaria"

This is another wall of Ciudad Universitaria (Madrid) with more marks than the previously uploaded (https://skfb.ly/6VWpr). The enormous amount of bullet and artillery marks indicates that this position was completly exposed to the nationalist direct fire from their strategic position at the Hospital Clínico, the farthest penetration point in their attack over Madrid in november 1936. However, we shouldn't assume that the mayority of the impacts come from the battle of Ciudad Universitaria. Combat was very frecuent and the francoists never gave up in their attempt to capture the capital until 1939. Several offensives were launched by both sides during the whole war, turning the campus into a apocalyptic landscape. Mud, barbed wire, cold, unburied corpses, artillery shelling and night assaults remember more a typical WWI scenario like Ypres and Passchendaele...

It could be surprising, but few students in the university actually know something about the rich contemporany heritage intrinsic in their faculties.
