for the Spain they believed to be better: Monte Hacho
In Monte Hacho Fortress In July 1936, General Francisco Franco took command of the Spanish Army of Africa and rebelled against the Spanish republican government; his military uprising led to the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939. Franco transported troops to mainland Spain in an airlift using transport aircraft supplied by Germany and Italy. The Spanish Army of Africa which included a considerable number of Moroccan troops (regulares), under the command of Francisco Franco, became the core of the Spanish Nationalist Army. Ceuta became one of the first casualties of the uprising: General Franco's rebel nationalist forces seized Ceuta, while at the same time the city came under fire from the air and sea forces of the official republican government. In this way Monte Hacho fortress in Ceuta was an essential location during these first days of the Spanish Civil War. Monte Hacho is a low mountain that overlooks the Spanish city of Ceuta , on the north coast of Africa. It is located on the Península de Almina and topped by the Monte Hacho fortress, which was first built by the Byzantines, before being added to by the Arabs, Portuguese and Spanish. It is now occupied by the Spanish army. Monte Hacho also has a convent, Ermita de San Antonio, and Monumento del Llano Amarillo which is a monument to Generalisimo Francisco Franco and the start of the Spanish Civil War in North Africa in 1936. These photos were taken in March 2018 and show the Monte Hacho Fortress.
