Hi:
Nice pics of the guns from the Montjuic Fortress. Some of them from the Spanish Civil War. It was a very nice Military Museum, now it is closed or will be closed due to the nice and clever policy of our governors. :tinysmile_angry2_t:

I'm very sorry to hear that. It was my favourite military museum - where else can you sit in the warm sun, enjoying a cold beer while admiring the artillery all around? An interesting selection of smaller weapons and ammo inside, too. What's going to happen to them all?
