Abstract

This article reflects the process of symbolic construction of a mountain, Montejurra, and the diversity of uses that were given from the first Carlist war to this day. Although primarily associated with triumphant Carlism memory and his connection to the mountain in a generic sense, it was also used by liberalism, either as negative element, as well as by exalting the heroic history of the army; and by the radical Basque nationalism. The fluidity of the symbolic meaning appears, therefore, as one of the highlights of this process of historical construction.
