Paul 15's Comments

You should consider including Valle de los Callidos (Valley of the Fallen) in this list. The tomb of Generalissimo Francisco Franco, it is an entire cathedral carved in a mountainside and intended to be a monument to those who died in the Spanish Civil War. It was built by Republican veterans in virtual slave labor over a period of 18 years. It's topped by one one of the largest stone crucifixes in the world -- which of course, is positioned on the hilltop directly over the position of Franco's final resting place in the church below.
