Tips

June 18, 2022

As a coastal town, Ametlla de Mar fortified its coastline like the rest of the Catalan coastal towns with trenches and machine gun nests, while monitoring and defending the coast in all those places susceptible to a landing of Francoist troops. The construction of these defensive positions began at the end of 1936 and had its peak during the first half of 1937, with the civilian population itself frequently intervening in the construction, always guided by Republican military instructors.
About six km from the town of Ametlla de Mar and the same distance north of Ampolla. In this place there was another machine gun nest located at a height of 20 meters above sea level, rectangular in plan and built with concrete, although it still lacked the finishing of almost the entire roof. It only had a front loophole that looked out towards the sea, while on the southern part of the coast itself there were shelters with a capacity for 70 people.
