At midnight on July 25, 1938, the Republican army crossed the Ebro, attacking and breaking through the nationalist defensive lines between Amposta and Mequinensa.
After 115 days of terrible fights, and while Franco's army was advancing, the Republican troops began a gradual withdrawal.
Today, seventy five years later, the remains of the battle are still present in many of the sceneries of the regions in Terra Alta and Ribera de Ebro. The visit to these places and to the historical interpretation centers which contextualize them, allow you to have an approach to those facts in the same place where they were wrote and they let us reflect on the words from the American philosopher George Santayana: "People who forget their history are doomed to repeat it."
