The triumphal entry of Franco's troops in the territories still holding out put an end to the Civil War. Ceremonies to honour the victims on the national side were held immediately. Town halls authorized the victims to be moved, and they were commemorated in religious ceremonies and buried in cemeteries, whilst monuments in memory of the fallen were erected in town squares.
