Preservation or Destruction oflieux de mémoire: Contested Spaces in the Realm of Memory
This article explores the reasons behind the destruction or preservation of sites of memory, using the examples of Carabanchel Prison, which was built by forced labour between 1940 and 1944 to house political prisoners, many of whom were tortured and executed, and the Valley of the Fallen, which has been at the centre of intense debates concerning its future in recent times.
