Image of Belchite, not of the place itself.

Between 24 August and 6 September 1937 the Popular Army encircled and took Belchite as part of the offensive on Zaragoza. The house-to-house fighting left some five thousand casualties and razed the urban centre, which was left unusable as a place to live.
