La Albuera in Spain
Façade of the Centro de Interpretación de la Batalla de La Albuera.
Tiles (azulejos) by Ana Maria Fernández Nogales, May 2002.   

Loosely inspired by Thomas Sutherland's (1785-1838) aquatint : Marshal Beresford disarming a Polish officer at La Albuera (16 May 1811).
Murals of azulejos designed by Julio Cienfuegos Linares (1920–1996), manufactured by Cerámica Artística Barcarrota, Badajoz, erected in 1991 along the road N-432a (Avenida de Extremadura) at both the northern and the southern entrances of La Albuera.  
Depicted are soldiers of the four armies involved in the Battle of La Albuera, fought on May 16, 1811.
Highlighted quotation : 
"Oh, Albuera! glorious field of grief !"
(Lord Byron, "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage", Canto the First (1812), Stanza XLIII, verse 1) 

Original version of the quadrilingual quotation :  "Even as they fought in files they lay, Like a mower's grass at close of day When his work is o'er on the levelled plain  Such was the fall of the foremost slain."(Edward Fraser, "The Soldiers Whom Wellington Led" (1913), Chapter X, "On the day of the 'Die Hards' : Heroic Albuhera")
