Guernica (town)

Guernica is a historic town in the Basque Country of northern Spain, known for its deep cultural roots and resilience. It gained worldwide recognition due to the 1937 bombing during the Spanish Civil War, which inspired Picasso's famous mural painting, "Guernica," symbolizing the horrors of war. The town has a strong Basque identity, with traditional customs, language, and festivals. Today, Guernica is a peaceful community that honors its history, blending historic sites with modern life, and serves as a reminder of the importance of peace and remembrance.
