Historical milestone · el Pinell de Brai, Terra Alta, Tarragona

Image of el Pinell de Brai, not of the place itself.

In August 1938 the summit of the sierra changed hands repeatedly in the harshest episode of the battle of the Ebro, with artillery and aircraft pounding the bare rock. On the height a monument to the combatants was raised half a century later.
