Symbolic old cemetery |
Carrer del Fossar de les Moreres Barcelona 08003 |
This is one of two cemeteries (fossars) close to Basílica de Santa Maria del Mar and it's of great historical and symbolic importance to the Catalan people. The Catalan soldiers who died fighting the Bourbon King Felipe V's troops were buried here. Catalunya's defeat meant that the kingdom of Aragón lost its special rights and freedoms. There's a commemorative plaque here with a poem paying tribute to those who died. On September 11th, Catalunya's national day, politicians gather to lay wreaths and make speeches.
