Mirador de la Memoria

Four life-size sculptures of three men and one woman stand at the edge of a granite platform overlooking the Jerte Valley and Tormantos Mountains.

The memorial, inaugurated in 2009, commemorates victims of the Spanish Civil War through sculptures that were later damaged by gunfire, which the artist decided to preserve.

The site regularly hosts commemorative events, including the annual Guerrilla Day every first Sunday of October, dedicated to mountain fighters of the region.

Located along road CC-51, the viewpoint features sufficient parking space and stands at 600 meters altitude, offering clear views of Valdastillas and Casas del Castañar.

The bullet holes in three male sculptures remain intentionally unrepaired, serving as an additional layer of testament to ongoing societal tensions.
