The Spanish tourism authorities have now announced that they are to open a tower to the general public that was constructed in the 1930`s by the Spanish dictator General Franco. The macabre tower was used to throw Communists off during the Spanish civil war. The tourism authorities have announced that it will be open to educational visits at the price of 5 Euros per person. Spanish left wing activists have pledged a counter protest against the decision, and they have condemned the move as "insensitive" and "capitalist". It is believed that the tower was originally constructed as an incinerator to put Communists in, but it was decided that the method would be too expensive. The tower has Roman and Arabic influences and is 5 miles south of Toledo, which was the original Spanish capital before Madrid. Despite numerous complaints the tourism authorities have refused to back down over the decision and they have stated that the tower is part of Spain`s history.
