Sant Felip Neri

On the walls of the church of "Sant Felip Neri" still remains shrapnel from a bomb dropped by the "rebellious side" or "national side" or fascist side, on January 30, 1938, during the Spanish Civil War. Caused 42 fatalities, most of whom were children who had taken refuge in the basement of the church and died from the blast. Today is the 75th anniversary this fratricidal war ended.

En las paredes de la iglesia de "Sant Felip Neri" todavía se ven los restos de la metralla de una bomba lanzada por el "bando sublevado" o "bando nacional" o bando fascista, el 30 de Enero de 1938, durante la Guerra Civil Española. Provocó 42 víctimas mortales, la mayoría de las cuales eran niños que habían ido a refugiarse en el subterráneo de la iglesia y que murieron a causa de la deflagración. Hoy se cumplen 75 años que finalizó esa guerra fratricida.
Muy buena foto, y el tono vintage le agrega interés.
