Work Begins to Remove Monumental Cross in Sant Carles de la Ràpita

Country: Spain

Date of incident: February 16, 2017


After the town council decreed that the cross outside the "Torre de Guardiola" fortress was erected in commemoration of General Franco's victory in the Spanish Civil War, it was ordered removed in compliance with the Historical Memory Law of 2007. Critics of this move note that the plaque linking the cross to Franco had already been removed.
