Memorial International Brigades Madrid

From November 1936, a total of 424 volunteers of the International Brigades were buried at the Fuencarral Cemetery. After Franco's takeover, the bodies were removed by Phalangists and dumped in a mass grave on Mount Pardo. In 1989, a copy of the large memorial plaque that had been removed during Franco's time was replaced. Separate plaques were later placed on the large plaque that commemorate, among others, Italian, British, Irish, American and Canadian volunteers who fought on the Republican side in the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War.
