Francoist monument in Tortosa to be removed next summer
Catalonia's largest still-standing Francoist monument will be taken down next summer if all goes according to plan.
In a move announced by the Catalan government on the 45th anniversary of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco's death, authorities hope to remove the monolith located in the Ebre region town of Tortosa, which commemorates the Nationalist side's win in one of the Spanish Civil War's bloodiest battles.
