==Memorials== [[File:Madrid - Plaza de Santa Ana, monumento a García Lorca.jpg|thumb|right|[[Monument to Federico García Lorca]], Madrid|alt=A bronze statue of García Lorca, hands in front of him, a lark taking flight from his hands]] In Granada, the city of his birth, the [[Park Federico García Lorca]] is dedicated to his memory and includes the Huerta de San Vicente, the Lorca family summer home, opened as a museum in 1995. The grounds, including nearly two hectares of land, the two adjoining houses, works of art, and the original furnishings have been preserved.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.huertadesanvicente.com |title=Huertadesanvicente.com |publisher=Huertadesanvicente.com |access-date=14 August 2012}}</ref> There is a statue of Lorca on the Avenida de la Constitución in the city centre, and a cultural centre bearing his name was opened in 2015.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.universolorca.com/en/lugar/federico-garcia-lorca-center/|title=Federico García Lorca center|publisher=Universo Lorca|access-date=5 May 2024}}</ref> The Parque Federico García Lorca, in Alfacar, is near Fuente Grande; in 2009, excavations in it failed to locate Lorca's body. Close to the olive tree indicated by some as marking the location of the grave, there is a stone memorial to Federico García Lorca and all other victims of the Civil War, 1936–1939. Flowers are laid at the memorial every year on the anniversary of his death, and a commemorative event including music and readings of the poet's works is held every year in the park to mark the anniversary. On 17 August 2011, to remember the 75th anniversary of Lorca's assassination and to celebrate his life and legacy, this event included dance, song, poetry and dramatic readings and attracted hundreds of spectators. At the Barranco de Víznar, between [[Víznar]] and Alfacar, there is a memorial stone bearing the words "''Lorca eran todos, 18-8-2002''" ("All were Lorca ..."). The Barranco de Víznar is the site of mass graves and has been proposed as another possible location of the poet's remains. [[File:Federico Garcia Lorca - De profundis - Langebrug, Leiden.JPG|thumb|left|The poem ''De profundis'' in [[Leiden]], [[Netherlands]], the last of a set of 110 [[Wall poems in Leiden]] to be painted]] Lorca is honoured by [[Monument to Federico García Lorca|a statue]] prominently located in Madrid's [[Plaza de Santa Ana]]. Political philosopher [[David Crocker]] reported in 2014 that "the statue, at least, is still an emblem of the contested past: each day, the Left puts a red kerchief on the neck of the statue, and someone from the Right comes later to take it off".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/publications/articles_papers_reports/957.html |title=Democratic Development and Reckoning with the Past: The Case of Spain in Comparative Context |access-date=16 November 2014}}</ref> In [[Paris]] Lorca is commemorated in the Federico García Lorca Garden on the [[Seine]].
