Church of the //Asunción//.
Close to the mayor square,we find the church of "nuestra señora de la Asunción".We know that it was built in to the 16th century and restored in 1772. In 1836 a terrible fire devastates it. In the 19th century also there will be ruined the tower. In the tower we can see a roof of slate,but previously it was circular. There was know between the neighbors the coldness that was suffered among his walls. The patrimony of the church was destroyed in the civil war. The people of this village love this church, his images of Santiago and Cristo of Patrocinio too

Town Hall.
Brunete's town hall is placed in the centre of the village, next to the church. Enough time ago, the town hall was formed by several people of the village, who were chosen at random .Nobody was offering to be a mayor, because they were not paying them. In these times, the village had more o less 50 habitants. Brunete was growing, at the same time as his town hall, and now it had thirteen councilmen with his mayor, Mr Felix Gavilanes, chosen democratically in June, 2007 with 48 % of the votes.On wall of the town hall there are hung Brunete's, the Community of Madrid and Spain flags

Alfonso Moreno.
Alfonso Moreno was born in 1944. He was the principal of the school Batalla de Brunete and he funded the high school Alfonso Moreno, also in Brunete. He has two grandsons. The youngest is at the moment studying at Batalla de Brunete but the oldest is in the high school, just like me. Alfonso Moreno is nowadays retired, although he still writes books which are, to my mind, very good and very interesting. He has been living in Brunete for a lot of years.

The civil war bunkers
A bunker is a defensive military fortification.The bunkers are made in iron and cement, they haven't door becausewhen the soldiers go out of the bunker the enemy shoot them. The bunkers are conected with subterraneans tunels. The Brunete's bunkers are made and use for the nacionality forces in 1938 in the civil war. There are bunkers in the border of Brunete, the bunkers are good conservated but the tunels are collapsed.There are a lot of bunkers because the Brunete's battle are very important in the conquest of Madrid.
