Madrid's ruined University city: Clinic hospital as centre of desperate warfare.

Madrid's ruined University city: Clinic hospital as centre of desperate warfare. The skeleton of the clinical hospital at the Madrid University city as a shell explodes behind a small building in the middle foreground. These big blocks of buildings were only partially completed when the war broke out, and its ruined appearance is not entirely due to shell-fire. Now held by the rebels, the government troops wh once occupied one end of the University against their adversaries, still hold the buildings in the foreground, and have trenches running just below the walls.
