The Valley of Cuelgamuros (formerly known as Valley of the Fallen, or Valle de los Caídos) is the most conspicuous and unresolved Francoist monument in Spain. The site incorporates the exhumations of Franco and José Antonio Primo de Rivera, founder of the fascist party Falange and is central to ongoing debates about the Spanish Civil War and historical memory in the 21st century.
