La Pasionaria on Clyde Street in Glasgow. A favourite of many people, this statue is a memorial to the 2,100 British volunteers who fought for the Republican cause against Franco’s forces in the Spanish Civil War between 1936 and 1939. Of these, 534 died, including 65 from Glasgow.

The statue was created by Arthur Dooley and was erected in 1979. It features Dolores Ibarruri, known as La Pasionaria (the Passionflower), an activist renowned for her passionate speeches.
