Topografia de la destrucció

Els bombardeigs de Barcelona durant la Guerra Civil (1936-1939)

Author/s
Laia Araño and Mireia Capdevila Candell

From February 1937 until January 1939, Barcelona was systematically bombarded by Nazi, fascist and Franco aircraft. The city served as their test bench as bombs rained down over the Catalan capital according to a systematic policy aimed at the destruction, terror and demoralisation of the civil population. This book is the most thorough and exhaustive census taken up to now of the buildings in the city that were hit by the bombardments and to what extent they were damaged. All the information has been entered into a general database, and this date used to geolocalise the destructions by air warfare on the historical map of the city.

What are them saying

"La seva rellevància té un motiu clar: per primera vegada es brinda un mapa que amb tot detall informa d’on van caure aquelles bombes i de quin efecte van tenir."

"Laia Arañó y Mireia Capdevila publican un censo sobre los bombardeos de la aviación fascista durante la guerra."

"La exhaustividad de la información, resultado de dos años de investigaciones, resulta hipnótica. Cada impacto es trasladado a los numerosos mapas de la obra de forma que se puede apreciar en conjunto la devastación, globalmente, por zonas y por fechas."

"Un llibre geolocalitza tots els edificis de Barcelona danyats per les bombes durant la Guerra Civil."
