Atocha Station Memorial
The Atocha station memorial is a memorial monument located at Atocha station in Madrid, Spain, that commemorates the 191 victims of the 11 March 2004 Madrid train bombings and the special forces agent who died when seven suicide bombers blew themselves up on 3 April 2004.
The 11-m tall (36ft) cylinder stands above Atocha station, the destination of the four trains that were attacked.
Thousands of messages of condolence made in the days after the attacks are inscribed on the inside of the tower.
The messages of grief can be seen from a chamber beneath the hollow monument.
