The monument was erected in memory of the victims of the March 11, 2004 terrorist attacks, on four passenger trains in Madrid. Attacks in which 191 people were killed.

Translation of the text on the sign:
In memory of the victims of terrorism, in solidarity with their families and with all the women and men fighting for peace, freedom and life, we dedicate the part of the song "Madrid" written by Miguel Hernández after the tragedy of March 11, 2004

This city is not appeased with fire,
this laurel with resentment is not cut down.
This rose bush without luck, this lavish joy exhales
