for occupying the city and the determination to stop the advance maintains itself on both sides. Both sides start running out of tactics as the death count goes up and the battle carries out between the faculties and diverse buildings of the campus. This confrontation is characterized by the fight inside the buildings, room by room, floor by floor. After a whole week of intense fighting and slow advance, general Franco has a reunion on the Cuartel General de Leganés, and on 23 November, the attackers' strategy changes: they would indirectly attack Madrid with a maneuver on the axis Las Rozas-Húmera (nowadays a neighborhood in Pozuelo de Alarcón) less than 2 kilometers northeast to the campus, which gave way to other battles like the Jarama (February 1937) and later the Guadalajara (March 1937).

Even if the front stayed the same, there was a fierce battle in the Ciudad Universitaria and Parque del Oeste with mines and countermines, all with unsuccessful infantry offensives until on 28 March 1939 the colonel Segismundo Casado surrendered the city to the attacking troops. As a result of the battle, the campus of the Ciudad Universitaria and the adjacent parts of the city were badly damaged. Ironically, the buildings were not used for the first time as a university, but as a war front. It was not until some years later that it was possible to recover normal docent activities in some faculties. The state in which the campus was left made the idea of a thematic park of the Civil War be established there, but the idea led to nothing in the end. The war caught the University in the middle of a changing state since many of the faculties that were in the urban center were going to rejoin slowly in the newly built campus. The war came unexpectedly and they were used in combats instead of studying places. The reconstruction of the faculties led that on 12 October 1943 the new precinct was inaugurated, starting the academic year. Several monuments were also built, dedicated to the commemoration of the victory of Franco's army, including the Arco de la Victoria built between 1950 and 1956 and the Monumento a Los Caídos Por España (nowadays the headquarters of the
