Monumento a la División Azul - Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha (Spain) - Specific Wars Monuments and Memorials on Waymarking.com

Tras la guerra civil española, el ayuntamiento falangista renombró el “Parque José Canalejas” (presidente del Consejo de Ministros asesinado en Madrid en 1912) para resignificarlo como “Parque de los Mártires”, en honor a los muertos por el bando sublevado.
En su interior se erigió un monumento conmemorativo en 1942, que permaneció incólume hasta el año 2002, cuando el alcalde socialista Manuel Pérez Castell lo trasladó a su ubicación actual, el cementerio municipal.
El conjunto monumental, que contiene un escudo preconstitucional y simbología falangista, también aloja un monolito falangista que conmemora el paso del cortejo fúnebre de José Antonio Primo de Rivera por la ciudad y la provincia de Albacete.
