What you can expect

Join us on this tour guide about the Civil War in the town of Uvieo between July 1936 and the fall of the Northern Front in October 1937. We will approach the military conspiracy of Aranda, the scenes of the first battles, the still visible marks of the bombings during the Republican encirclement and the consequences of Franco's repression.

Denis Soria, historian and official tour guide will accompany us through the streets of the Asturian capital on a journey through our recent history.

Our itinerary will start in front of the Reconquista Hotel to, from there, learn the details of the conspiracy hatched by Colonel Aranda against the Republic and visit the places of the first battles: the assault on the headquarters of the civil government or the Santa Clara barracks.

Then, we will approach 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, including unexploded shells still embedded in the facades, witnesses of the almost total destruction of the city after 15 months of war, where only about thirty buildings remained intact.

Our tour will end in front of the tower of the Cathedral, mutilated by cannon fire, where we will take the opportunity to talk about the victims of the Republican bombings and Franco's repression, which would claim the lives of illustrious figures, such as the rector Leopoldo Alas.

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