Overview

Join us on this guided tour of the Civil War in the city of Oviedo/Uvieo between July 1936 and the fall of the Northern Front in October 1937. We will approach the military conspiracy of Aranda, the scenarios of the first fighting, the still visible marks of the bombings during the Republican encirclement and the consequences of the repression.

We will know the details of Colonel Aranda’s conspiracy and the spaces of the first fighting: the storming of the headquarters of the civilian government or the Santa Clara barracks.

Next, we will get closer to the situation of the city during the evolution of the Northern Front and the role of figures such as Lieutenant Colonel Teijeiro in breaking the siege, but we will also glimpse the marks of the fighting, even unexploded projectiles still embedded! on the facades.

An essential visit to discover an episode of our history that every carbayon and carbayone should know. Are you ready for war?
