Steel song: Izotz ondoko eguzki

Basque Country's history of struggle remembered in a street memorial

Xabier Lizardiren built the Izotz ondoko eguzki to honor several Basque political prisoners who were hidden away during Spain's transition into democracy in the 1970s. The memorial's solid steel plaques echo the fight against political oppression that spread through Basque Country during this time.
