A scar is a “signal that remains in organic tissues after a wound is healed” (Real Academia Española). Similarly, we can adopt the same word for the signal that remains in the urban fabric after the wounds caused by the destruction of the war in its builded heritage are healed.
Urban scars resulting from long months of systematic bombing between 1936 and 1939 are a scarcely studied aspect of the city of Madrid. This research raises an approach to the identification, analysis, and mapping of these scars to understand to what extent its urban landscape has been altered and is indebted to those tragic events.
Most of the affected buildings were repaired without their appearance showing the real dimension of the urbicide. However, there are still many vestiges and alterations in the urban fabric that, due to lack of knowledge and oblivion, we do not associate with significant events to understand the history of Madrid.
The result is the mapping of these marks, a starting point to reflect on the consequences that a warlike scenario of this magnitude has on the image of the city, and to assess individual traces on heritage that links the town with its memory.
