Panteón Margallo, Melilla, Military mausoleum at Municipal Cemetery of Purísima Concepción, Melilla, Spain.
The Panteón Margallo features white stone architecture and contains remains from multiple military campaigns in North Africa during the late 19th century.
King Alfonso XIII laid the foundation stone of this mausoleum on January 7, 1911, during his second visit to the Spanish territory of Melilla.
The mausoleum houses the remains of six decorated military officers and serves as a memorial for casualties from the 1893 Rif campaign.
The monument stands within a 50,000-square-meter cemetery complex that contains separate sections for different military units and religious denominations.
The basement of the mausoleum preserves anonymous remains from the Battle of Monte Arruit, including approximately 3,000 documented human skulls.
