Valle de los Caídos I (Cuelgamuros), Madrid. (2016)

The bodies of 12,410 unidentified Republicans, victims of the dictator, were transferred here, from 1959, without the permission or knowledge of their families. The relatives of Ramiro and Manuel Lapeña, for example, learned only a few years ago that they were no longer in the grave where they had been laying flowers for more than 60 years.
