Express visits: «Eleventh of September, memory of a defeat»
Every Sunday in September, to coincide with the commemoration of the National Day of Catalonia, El Born CCM opens its doors for a unique experience: «Eleventh of September, memory of a defeat». This free guided tour immerses visitors in the dramatic episode of 11 September 1714, offering a tour of the emblematic places where the citizens of Barcelona experienced the intensity of the conflict.
About this event
The activity takes place in the evocative setting of the Born archaeological complex, passing through the former homes of families directly affected by the battle and along the streets that were the scene of the brave resistance on that decisive day.
Lasting just 30 minutes and entirely in Catalan, these visits seek not only to evoke moments of struggle and resistance, but also to reflect on how these events have shaped Catalonia’s identity and spirit. It is an invitation to connect with history in a deep and meaningful way, ideal for those seeking to understand the roots and repercussions of that historic siege.
