A commission set up by the Spanish government has recommended that the remains of General Francisco Franco should be exhumed.
The dictator’s tomb is inside a Catholic basilica, at a politically divisive civil war memorial.
The site, near Madrid, has been a rallying point for the far right.
The commission said the remains of Gen Franco – who ruled between 1936 and his death in 1975 – should be handed over to his family for reburial.
The vast site, known as the Valley of the Fallen, contains mass graves with the remains of 34,000 people from both sides killed in Spain’s 1936-1939 civil war.
