Memorial of the Battle of the Ebro

The expressionist monument stands near the Ebro River, featuring angular forms that represent the intensity of the battle through architectural elements.

The memorial marks the location of intense fighting during the Battle of the Ebro in 1938, which became the final major Republican offensive.

The monument underwent changes in 2016 to include recognition of casualties from both sides of the conflict, replacing its initial nationalist focus.

Visitors can reach the memorial by following marked hiking trails from central Tortosa, with informational displays explaining the battle context.

Ernest Hemingway documented the events at this location in his article 'The Battle of Tortosa,' providing international perspective on the conflict.
