MADRID, March 11 (Xinhua) -- Spaniards on Sunday held rallies in memory of the 191 people killed three years ago in train bombings in Madrid.

    "Memory, dignity and Justice" was among slogans witnessed at the commemorative gatherings called by the Terrorist Victims Association in major cities of Madrid, Barcelona, Valladolid and Jaen.

    In Madrid's De La Villa Place, the rally began with a three-minute silence for all of Europe's terror victims.

    To the accompaniment of music by Paul Casals, Spain's royal family formally unveiled a monument in memory of those who died at the Atocha Station.

    The monument, an 11-meter glass dome over a room of 500 square meters, houses messages of support from all parts of the world. It is the work of young architects and has been named the Fascinante Aroma a Manzana (Enthralling Smell of Apples).

    Other dignitaries at the gathering included Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, Esperanza Aguirre, president of the autonomous community of Madrid, and Mayor Alberto Ruiz Gallardon.

    In nearby El Retiro Park, a garden of remembrance has been erected to honor the victims.

    On March 11, 2004, terrorists targeted four trains at Atocha Station in Madrid, killing 191 people and injuring 2,000 others.
