Image of Oliva de la Frontera, not of the place itself.

During the Civil War, the Portuguese lieutenant António Augusto de Seixas, commanding the Guarda Fiscal of Safara, organized, without his government's knowledge, a refugee camp in nearby Barrancos (Portugal) that saved the lives of more than 400 people fleeing Francoist repression. In 2010, Oliva de la Frontera and Barrancos each dedicated a monument to him.
