The monument was inaugurated in December 2003 following a Truth Commission report from 1993 that addressed the conflict's aftermath. This response to the past marked an important step in the country's process of dealing with its war years.

Families and organizations visit the site to gather and pay respects to those lost during the armed conflict. The monument has become a gathering place where people openly share their grief and keep memories alive together.

The relief mural "La verdad y justicia", made in dark cement by Julio Reyes Yasbek of Usulután, depicts scenes of repression and struggle.
