Logroño, (EFE).- The municipal cemetery of Logroño has since this Saturday a memorial on the victims of the 1936 coup d’état buried in this cemetery.
Created by the artist from Logroño Óscar Cenzano, it is included in the agreement signed between the City Council and La Barranca, for which the City Council contributes 36,000 euros and which includes three lines of action focused on research, disclosure of the events that occurred and the memory of the victims.
It is a tribute of remembrance, recognition and dignity to the victims of Franco’s repression that has taken place in Table 1 of the municipal cemetery, where most of the murdered people were buried.
In this way, with the placement of a plaque, a monolith and the provision of an open space for historical memory, the Logroño City Council remembers the memory of the more than 2,000 people who were murdered in Logroño and La Rioja between July and December of 1936, of which more than 400 were buried in the municipal cemetery.
