Some 34,000 people’s remains, many of them victims of Franco’s regime, are buried anonymously in the complex.
The Falange party continues to exist but does not have any seats in parliament. In 2019, the anti-immigration Vox became the first far-right party to win representation in Spain’s parliament since the restoration of democracy in 1977. His remains were moved again to the Valley of the Fallen monument 20 years later and buried under the altar of the basilica.Franco, a conservative general, and Primo de Rivera, a flamboyant playboy, had little love for each other, according to Franco’s biographer Paul Preston.
