1708, The siege of Tortosa
Tortosa, July 8, 1708. The city is at the limit of its strength. Victim of a fierce siege, he has resisted against all odds in the Bourbon army with a single objective: the defense of Catalan institutions. On the eve of the battle that will decide the future of the city and the country, only one outcome is contemplated: win or die.
Relive the last days of the Siege of Tortosa. The smell of gunpowder and troop parades will once again fill the city streets to recreate one of the most decisive periods in the history of Catalonia: the War of Succession.
Live the definitive battle that put an end to one of the harshest sieges of our past, visit the Miquelets camp to see what day-to-day life was like under the siege and discover the fortifications of Tortosa with the help of those who they defended.
The Miquelets of Catalonia will be the protagonists of these days that combine historical recreation and dissemination of the history and heritage of the city, together with the Amics dels Castells.
