The church of the Carmelites reduced to ashes, the monastery was transformed into a prison. The Carmelite Fathers, to escape the persecution of the revolutionaries, took refuge with friends and, discovered by the militiamen, professed with a serene spirit that they were religious, which is why they were killed. The killing of the three Discalced Carmelite fathers, the four Discalced Carmelite lay Brothers and the four \u00abCarmelite Tertiary Brothers of Education\u00bb (a congregation founded by Bl. Francesco Palau, OCD) took place in the period between 25 July 1936 and 11 November 1936.
