The Monumento a los Caídos por España on the Plaza de la Lealtad in the center of Madrid is an impressive, 56-meter-high obelisk monument inaugurated in 1840. It commemorates the heroes and victims of the Madrid uprising of May 2, 1808, against Napoleon's French occupation forces, and contains an urn with the ashes of those shot at the time. Since its redesign in 1985, an eternal flame has burned in front of the monument, which today commemorates all Spaniards who gave their lives for their homeland.
