Wikipedia: The Forest of the Departed or Forest of Remembrance (Bosque del Recuerdo) is a memorial garden located in the park of El Retiro in Madrid that commemorates the 191 civilian victims of the 11 March 2004 Madrid train bombings and the special forces agent who died in the attacks. The seven suicide bombers subsquently blew themselves up on 3 April 2004 while under siege by security forces in their apartment block. The new name, Bosque del Recuerdo (Forest of Remembrance), was chosen after the survivors and the victims' families argued that those killed are for ever present and have never departed from their hearts.
