Buildings of Saceruela Military Airfield

sketchfab

The military airfield of Saceruela (Ciudad Real) was built during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) by the Republican Army to provide aerial coverage to the Extremadura Front. It is one of the most important airfields in the province of Ciudad Real. In the 3D model you can see two of the buildings that were built to house the personnel of the airfield and to repair the aircraft. There is also an enormous bunker under the subsoil, intended to serve as a refuge in the event of an attack by enemy aviation. This bunker was designed to withstand the impact of bombs of up to 100 kilograms and, as can be seen in the 3D model, had its two entrances next to the two buildings on the surface, in order to facilitate a quick escape from its occupants.
