Monument to Sagardía Column, Marble monument in Alfoz de Bricia, Spain

The monument features an imperial eagle atop a column with inscriptions dedicated to the members of the 62nd Division and their military campaigns.

Eduardo Olasagasti Irigoyen and Jose Antonio Olano designed this monument in 1940 to commemorate General Antonio Sagardia Ramos and the 62nd Division.

The structure includes military inscriptions and symbols that reflect the historical period of Spain during the post-civil war years.
