Fossar de la Pedrera (Montjuïc), Barcelona (2017). The disused quarry contains thousands of people from both sides: victims of the anti-fascist militias, of the events of May 1937, of the bombing of Barcelona between 16 and 18 March 1938 and 3.400 victims of Francoist executions between 1939 and 1952.

In the former quarry of the Fossar de la Pedrera there are human remains of the people killed by the anti-fascist militias, the victims of the events of May 1937, some 1,300 victims of the Francoist bombing of the city of Barcelona by Italian and German planes between 16 and 18 March 1938 and some 3,400 people executed by the Franco dictatorship between 1939 and 1952. They used to dump the bodies down a slide into a hole previously made by soldiers and cover them with quicklime.
