The fall of Barcelona
This date is known by catalans with the name Fiesta and it commemorates an epic defeat of the year 1714: the fall of Barcelona caused by the Bourbon troops during the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1715). That is how Felip V, the first king of the royal house of Bourbon, came to the throne. Consequently, in 1916 the catalan institutions were abolished after the promulgation of the decree of Nueva Planta and they lost lots of their rights to preserve their identity.
