Mañana de Mayo, a monument to 49 patriots, including one Robert Boyd, iin the Plaza de la Merced, Malaga City, Andalucia, Spain

---

In the centre of the Plaza de la Merced, lookout for an neo-classical obelisk which was placed here by the town hall in 1842 in memory of General Torrijos to commemorate the "49 victims, who for their love of patriotic liberty where sacrificed in this city on the 11th December 1831". On the four sides of the obelisk can be read the names of the 49. The story of this hapless revolution is told in Malaga history. It is worth noting that terrorists become heroes in 11 years.
