This monument is a majestic group of buildings which were constructed in the 1950´s after the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) in order to remember the soldiers who died "por Dios y por España" (to God and to Spain). The Valle de los Caídos is composed by an abbey, a cave-basilica, a monastery, gardens, cemetery and a giant cross make with stone. Honestly, is a really beatiful monument.
