Cruz de los Caídos, War memorial at Doctor Gadea Avenue, Alicante, Spain
The stone cross structure rises 9.5 meters high at a traffic roundabout between Doctor Gadea and Federico Soto avenues near Plaza Calvo Sotelo.
Built in 1939 by architects Miguel López González and Miguel Abad Miró, the monument initially cost 19,500 pesetas and was inaugurated on June 9, 1940.
The inscription on the memorial reads '1936-1940 To all men and women who died defending their ideals', acknowledging victims from both sides of the conflict.
The memorial serves as a reference point in central Alicante, visible from multiple approaches and frequently used for giving directions.
The monument underwent a significant transformation in 1987 when its original dedication was modified to include all war victims regardless of their political affiliation.
