The year 2014 will mark the 300th anniversary of the events of 11 September 1714. For this reason, Barcelona City Council is organising, in cooperation with the Government of Catalonia, a civic commemoration that will help us to rediscover the city of the eighteenth century, to grasp the scope of those events and to understand them in relation to the present situation and our future expectations.
Various city institutions, cultural facilities, district authorities, social and civic associations and media, as well as representatives from the worlds of publication, education and academia will also join together in this commemoration, which will be curated by the journalist Toni Soler.
Tricentenari BCN will promote dialogue between the past and present through a programme of events that will include exhibitions, debates, seminars, publications, routes, civic celebrations and artistic initiatives that will immerse us in history through reflection, revelation, artistic creation and citizen participation.
