    100% a symbol of the Franco dictatorship. There’s no getting around it.

      Spain’s fascist dictatorship and the Catholic church – inextricably linked.

      They should build a museum showing examples both of the atrocities and of the acts of humanity committed during the civil war. Anyone visiting the mausoleum should have to pass through the museum first.
