Museo - Refugio de la Guerra Civil

Erecciones Completas (10.30pm and 12am)
Performance.

The Shelters of Gisbert Street were built in 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. Excavated in the Conception Hill, they were the largest shelters in the city that could accommodate 5,500 people.
From the beginning to the end of the war, Cartagena suffered repeated bombings by the German and Italian aviation. The reasons for these bombings were the fact that the harbour was the Republic’s naval base, the place where support to the Republican arrived and it was the second center of war industry in the Republican zone.
In 2006, Gisbert Street shelters opened to the public allowing people remember some episodes of our recent history.
OS REVEREND OS: Behind this Galician-Portuguese name, two performers poets hide. They are lovers of good texts, comedy and verbal sparrings. Os Reverendos intend to disseminate their message, open branches wherever they go and start a new religion.

The interpretation centre - Centro de Interpretación de la Muralla Púnica (The Punic Wall Interpretation Centre) deals with safeguarding the remains of the ancient Carthaginian wall which encircled the city and are one of the rare remains of Punic archaeological sites in the Iberian Peninsula.

The excavations of these two archaeological sites took place in 1987 and their development in 2003.
During the Museum Night, Ymbernón will tell how, as a child, he was intoxicated by drinking a potion he prepared carefully.  It was a hint of what would happen years later with "Bona Cuina” (Premio Nacional de Acciones Artística 1999), later to be known as "Poesía Visual Culinaria": it consists of cooking a dish and from an egg, you get a salad, from a banana you get a sausage, etc.
