Gernika was and has been since time immemorial a place full of symbolism and importance for the Basque people as a symbol of democracy and historical rights. Nothing could do more damage in Euskadi than destroying the town that saw the first Basque Lehendakari swear under the Gernika tree. The international press echoed the bombing of Gernika, news of the first order and totally shocking, taking into account the disproportionate force of the attack against such a small and defenseless target. This fact inspired Picasso to complete "Guernica", the most famous painting of the s. XX. In 1987, with the 50th anniversary of the bombing, work began on the development of the values of a Culture of Peace and Reconciliation from the village. This trajectory has been reflected in the international recognition granted by UNESCO by granting Gernika-Lumo the “Cities for Peace Award” for the European Region.
