Spanish Civil War 1936–1939
Memorial de les Camposines
La Fatarella / Corbera d'Ebre · Memorial
The story
The Camposines crossroads, on the road from the Ebro crossings at Ascó and Flix towards Gandesa, was a key junction behind the Republican front and was fought over in the final weeks of the battle. In 2009 the Generalitat built a memorial here over the line of an old trench. It is an ossuary for the remains of soldiers still being found across the battlefield, from both armies, whose identities are mostly unknown. It is the main place of remembrance for the tens of thousands who died in the battle.
What you can see today
A modern memorial building with an ossuary, beside the hermitage of Sant Bartomeu de les Camposines, and a panoramic view towards the Ebro valley.
