Mariana Pineda (1804-1831). Spanish heroine, liberal symbol of the struggle against the absolutist power of King Ferdinand VII. It was reported to Ramón Pedrosa y Andrade, mayor of Crime of the Chancery of Granada, that Mariana had commissioned two embroiderers from the Albaicín to make a constitutional flag for a rebellion in Granada. From that moment on, a series of events took place that ended Mariana de Pineda's life, and she was executed on 26 May 1831 by garrotte. Mariana Pineda departs for the scaffold.
