The Montcada i Reixac cemetery will be integrated as a memorial site within the Network of Democratic Memorial Sites of Catalonia. Victims of the Republican rearguard violence were buried in this cemetery in the Vallès Occidental. Until the Generalitat (Catalan regional government) regained control of public order after the May 1937 events, the revolutionary committees killed priests, people considered right-wing, property owners, and foremen without trial. Sometimes it was for ideological reasons and sometimes personal ones, as revenge also occurred. The murders often took place in the Arrabassada region, and the victims were buried in the Montcada cemetery. Between July 19, 1936, and May 1937, some 1,200 victims were buried.
