Half a century ago, the Avila town of Las Berlanas suffered a catastrophe of hitherto unknown proportions. A flood devastated the municipality and one of its main surroundings, El Burgo, in addition to ending the lives of two people. To commemorate this tragic event, a monument has been erected that remembers the victims and the catastrophe, but also the efforts of the people of Berlin to improve themselves.

Located inside the park, this monument, which was placed in 2009, commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the flood that Las Berlanas suffered and which devastated part of this town, in which two people died and seventy families were left homeless.
