Fortress of La Creueta

The XYZ Line was constructed as a final defensive barrier preventing Franco's advance towards Valencia. Its construction meant a boost in morale for those fighting a few kilometers away and a moral duty for those who fortified the fortress while their comrades lost their lives in the trenches on the front line of fire. Although it was caught in time, it largely achieved its objective, being crucial to the defense during the Battle of the Levante and preventing the fighting from reaching the lines closest to Valencia. This resistance is now viewed by many historians as a defensive victory.
