Memorial 1714
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Memorial 1714 is a civic and nonprofit association established on June 26, 1985 with the immediate purpose of dignifying and rehabilitating the Fossar de les Moreres, and of recovering and publicizing its history and its origins, without breaking continuity with the group of people who gathered in 1977 to restore the plate with the verse of Frederic Soler "Pitarra" in the Fossar's Place. This group formed in 1978 the original "Commission Pro Fossar de les Moreres-Memorial 1714". Nowadays the association dedicates its efforts to preserving and disseminating the history of Catalonia,[1] although its main focus is on the events surrounding the siege of Barcelona in 1714, a critical moment in its history. In short, with its voluntary effort, the 1714 Memorial keeps the flame of Catalonia's history alive at Fossar de les Moreres.[2]
