List of stumbling blocks in the provinces of Lleida and Tarragona

The list of stumbling blocks in the provinces of Lleida and Tarragona contains the stumbling blocks of the provinces of Lleida and Tarragona in Spain , which were laid by the Cologne artist Gunter Demnig . Stumbling blocks remind of the fate of the people who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide by the National Socialists . As a rule, they are located in front of the victim's last self-chosen residence, but in Cervera , Talavera and other parts of the Segarra in the central square of the city.

The first relocations in Spain took place on April 9, 2015 in Navàs and El Palà de Torroella , in the provinces of Lleida and Tarragona, however, only in January 2018. The Catalan translation of the term stumbling blocks is: pedres que fan ensopegar . In Spanish they are called piedras de la memoria (memorial stones ).
