Belchite Viejo - Zaragoza, España - Specific Wars Monuments and Memorials on Waymarking.com

Como consecuencia de la Guerra Civil española el pueblo quedó muy dañado. El régimen franquista decidió no reconstruir el pueblo y dejarlo como símbolo de "la victoria Nacional" y prueba de la "barbarie Roja". Para ello prohibió cualquier obra de mejora o reparación, solo se podían realizar pequeños apaños fácilmente removibles, y se emprendió la construcción de un nuevo pueblo que pasó a denominarse "el nuevo Belchite" en contraposición con el hasta entonces Belchite que se denominó "el pueblo viejo".

As a consequence of the Spanish Civil War, the town was badly damaged. The Franco regime decided not to rebuild the town and leave it as a symbol of "National victory" and proof of "Red barbarism". To this end, any improvement or repair work was prohibited, only small, easily removable repairs could be carried out, and the construction of a new town began, which was renamed "the new Belchite" as opposed to the until then Belchite that was called "the town old".
