After a break, back to urban exploration ;)

In the Spanish civil war, Italian fascist troops helped General Franco in battle. This is a pyramid 20 meters high built in 1939 to keep the ashes of 350 Italian Fascist soldiers killed in combat.
During the seventies the ashes returned to Italy and since the pyramid continued challenging as a reminder of one of the darkest stages of my country (Spain)

A side note... The big M in the Main Gate is for Mussolini.

Historical... and abandoned. Nobody cares about this place since 1975. It is over a hill and hidden from the people.

Did you climb it..? (I feel like it may be disrespectful to climb it, but if there are no longer remains, perhaps not..)

If you are serious, then that is the most ludicrous vanity plate I have ever seen.
