The Ghost Town of Belchite | Spain (by David Martin Cast&aacute;n)


Between August 24 and September 7, 1937, loyalist Spanish Republican and rebel General Franco&rsquo;s forces in the Spanish Civil War fought the Battle of Belchite in and around the town. After 1939 a new village of Belchite was built adjacent to the ruins of the old, which remain a ghost town as a memorial to the war.
