Residential building attacked by Franco’s aircraft in 1936 may not become memorial, rightwing council suggests
Campaigners are urging Madrid city council not to abandon plans to create a museum on a site immortalised in a Robert Capa photograph that captured the aftermath of a fascist bombing raid in the early days of the Spanish civil war.
On his second trip to Spain towards the end of 1936, the Hungarian-American war photographer came across a bomb-damaged house in the working-class Madrid neighbourhood of Vallecas, its roof and facade torn with shrapnel and the street outside peppered with debris.
