La Posa: military constructions línia Republican front
In April 1938 the national troops, on the offensive, entered Catalonia and established a front line following the rivers Noguera Pallaresa, Segre and Ebro For nine long months, the Pallars Jussà, like Pallars Sobira and Noguera, was divided into two.
In the vicinity of the shrine of the Virgen de la Posa can find different military constructions corresponding to the Republicans. These have come down to us in excellent condition due to neglect by the Republican troops in the time when national final offensive began in January 1939 Catalonia. A tour of the vicinity of the shrine can see:
- Bunkers circular openings having different surveillance, defense and access to the soldiers. These are constructed with reinforced concrete in the walls are still visible marks that sandbags around her left imprinted in cement.
- A trench dug in the natural terrain linking the different bunkers. This follows a zigzag path to avoid the impact of projectiles to expand along the trench.
- Other elements such as a cave carved into the rock that had to function as magazine and food as well as different cisterns for collecting rainwater.
Moreover, the very shrine of the Posa becomes an element closely related to the civil war period, as the building, originally built in medieval times, was severely affected by the bombing. The chapel, like the people of Isona, was rebuilt after the war, by the "Direction of Devastated Regions". The shell reused as the chapel bell, is a powerful symbol of the tragic events that took place here.
