Abstract

The Spanish Civil War fortifications may be researched using an archaeological method even without excavations. The analysis of remains has also allowed to identify different types of pillboxes built in 1937 in the Pola de Godón sector (León). This works played the main role in the defense of the ports of Piedrafita and Pajares, natural passages towards the Principado de Asturias. In order to obtain this information publications with scientific criteria have been reviewed, as well as the study of documents and the making of planimetric maps.
