Bunker - Linea P

The P-Line (*Organización Defensiva de los Pirineos* – Defensive Organization of the Pyrenees) was a fortified defensive line constructed in the Pyrenees between 1944 and 1948 to prevent an invasion of Spanish territory. At the end of the Spanish Civil War, General Franco’s government decided to establish a defensive line in the Pyrenees, stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the Cantabrian Sea. The plan called for 8,000 to 10,000 bunkers, of which approximately half were completed. The defensive positions of the P-Line and their access roads were built by prisoners of war and political opponents imprisoned by the Francoist regime. The P-Line was officially decommissioned in 1980, following an initial inspection by the Spanish Army.
