The municipality of Barakaldo was not a place where land warfare or offensive battles took place, or outstanding battles. Although it is important to mention that there were certain places that are related in one way or another to this theme.

Next, different spaces are rescued, such as the place where Felipe del Río’s aerial combat took place -which is considered as significant-, the blown up bridges -which symbolized strategic objectives and in this case suffered damages that forced their subsequent reconstruction- , the headquarters of the battalions -which were quartered in Barakaldo and which included an important contingent of Barakaldo in their ranks-, the Ugarte airfield -which was never used and a ship docked in the Portu Dock -which was enabled as a prison and detention center-.
