Exhumation works are now being carried out of one of the largest mass graves in the Valencia region. Known as number 114, it is in the cemetery in Paterna, where about 197 victims of Francoism are believed to be buried. Experts hope to find the remains of 31 people in the first stage of these works. This mass grave is unusual because of the professions of the victims who were buried in it: many were from the world of culture, including artists and journalists, as well as teachers, local politicians and lawyers.
