During this civil war which pitted the Communards (men of the National Guard to which were added volunteer or enlisted civilians) against the Versailles (troops of professional soldiers commanded by the government of Adolphe Thiers entrenched in Versailles) several buildings were destroyed. The destruction was the result of repeated bombings by Versailles to retake the capital and fires perpetrated by the Communards. On May 25, on the right bank, government troops advanced with difficulty. Violent fighting took place around and on the Place du Château d'Eau (current Place de la République) which was locked by several barricades in the surrounding area: one on Boulevard Saint-Martin, another on Boulevard Voltaire and another on Boulevard du Temple. . The fighting continued throughout the evening.
