EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the imposing presence of the 150-metre-high crucifix of El Valle de los Caidos (The Valley of the Fallen) in Spain. Standing tall and majestic in the middle of a mountain outside Madrid, this giant mausoleum holds the remains of dictator Francisco Franco. The image, taken on July 12,2011, showcases the controversial burial place that has sparked debates about its future. A commission appointed by the Socialist government is set to make recommendations in November 2011 regarding Franco's final resting place. Located in a mountain range just an hour's drive northwest of Madrid, this site is dominated by an awe-inspiring crucifix towering over everything else. The photograph by Andrea Comas beautifully captures both the grandeur and controversy surrounding this historical landmark. With clear blue skies as a backdrop, it highlights how nature and man-made structures coexist harmoniously yet raise questions about their purpose. As viewers gaze upon this striking image, they are compelled to ponder not only Franco's legacy but also broader themes such as power dynamics and political history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even physical monuments can hold immense significance beyond their mere existence – they can embody complex narratives that shape our understanding of society and politics.
