Spanish Civil War 1936–1939
Pozos de Caudé memorial (Concud)
Concud / Teruel · Repression & memory site
The story
The site is a well about 50 m deep beside an old inn on the Teruel–Zaragoza road, near Concud. From July 1936 until the Republican encirclement of Teruel in December 1937, people held for their political views in Nationalist-held Teruel were shot here and thrown into the well. When the well was full, pits were dug nearby. It is one of the largest execution sites of the rearguard repression in Aragon. Families and associations campaigned for decades to have the victims remembered and identified.
What you can see today
The covered mouth of the well, a wall of plaques put up by families and several memorials, one of them to anarchist victims.
Plan your visit
The memorial is by the N-234 just west of Teruel and is open-access. Please treat it as a grave site.
