Ayuntamiento School Group Air Raid Shelter
As you can imagine, there was great interest in Valencia in building air raid shelters near schools... or directly inside them. This is the case of the Ayuntamiento School Group of Valencia, an educational center that no longer exists.
It had a capacity for 700 people and was equipped with built-in benches so students could sit and wait for the danger to pass. It consisted of five naves covered with low concrete vaults, which also featured toilets and electricity.
Although some modifications were made in the fifties, during your visit you can still observe the appearance the shelter had in those days and imagine the schoolchildren passing the time until the danger dissipated.
