Franco’s remains were buried in a mausoleum called Valley of the Fallen, which was meant to memorialize the hundreds of thousands of Spaniards who died in the civil war. But as The Guardian reports, people understandably had a problem with his body being honored there. So in 2019, the Spanish government came to the decision that his remains did not belong “in a public mausoleum that exalts his figure,” and had his body exhumed. In a move the government said would “symbolically close the circle of Spanish democracy,” it was taken to a family mausoleum, where it remains today.

Rather than denounce the tyrant’s bloody legacy, his descendants unsurprisingly opposed the move, but Spain’s supreme court ruled that it was pretty messed up to honor him in the public mausoleum. He was largely responsible for the deaths of everyone entombed in it, after all. The Valley of the Fallen is the largest mass grave in Spain. Over 33,000 people from both sides of the war are buried there.
