Day 4
Palau del Lloctinent
November 13, 2021 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
In 1391 the cities Jewish quarter was attacked. 4000 inhabitants were killed with survivors being forced to become Christians or to flee.
In the mid 16th century Charles the 5th ordered that due to a stone shortage instead of removing old or unwanted buildings, they were to go to the Jewish cemetery at Montjuïc and remove the headstones from the Jewish graves.
To date, 60 have been located in various parts of the city with 10 in this one wall.
The Spanish government apologised to the Jewish Community but this is a sad sight and a somber place.Read more

Placa de Sant Felip Neri
November 13, 2021 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
We had a quick visit to this somber place last night and decided to return today.
Before the 2nd world war, King Franco was approached by Hitler and Mussolini to be allied and so that they could use Spain as a test point for some new weapons.
On the 30th January 1938 a bomb was dropped on a small square in Barcelona. To make matters worse the square had a school in it and the children were out playing. 42 people lost their lives including children. Such a sad and awful place which still shows the damage from the bomb and the subsequent re-build.Read more
