FRANCO'S REGIME AND THE COMMEMORATION OF ITS FALLEN (1938-1959)

This work is a study of the cult and the different commemorations that Franco's regime made to its fallen after the Civil War in Spain, and will be studied through the monuments that were erected throughout Spain, and the different acts that were held in memory of the deceased on certain days marked on the calendar; and the press will also be used as a great source of information that will give us invaluable data to understand the entire symbolic universe that will be built around the figure of the fallen. The chronological framework that has been chosen has been from 1938, since that date the processing of permits to be able to erect monuments to the deceased begins, and until 1959, which is when the last requests to erect monuments were made and the Valley of the Fallen in El Escorial was inaugurated, which was the great project of the Franco regime.
