Destruction of the city during the Civil War

Historical milestone · Tortosa, Baix Ebre, Tarragona

Image of Tortosa, not of the place itself.

Situated in the immediate rearguard of the Ebro front, the city was a repeated target of Francoist aviation between 1937 and 1939 and was left practically destroyed. The bombings erased a good part of the historic urban fabric beside the river.
