Montjuïc: Sentinella de Barcelona
For centuries the city's best-known hill has been the subject of numerous urban refurbishments which, while defining it and redefining it, have made it one of the most interesting places, full of history, both major and minor.
Repensant els jardins històrics
A garden worth visiting is one that had a story behind it before it was laid out: an ambitious project, deep gratitude, the expression of a myth, and so forth. So the question is: what are the stories waiting to be revealed by Catalonia's most iconic gardens?
T2xC10 - El Dalí de Tarradellas
President Tarradellas’s “I am here” is one of the most iconic and emotional moments in the history of Catalonia. The politician was received with enthusiasm by the crowd that had gathered before him. This was preceded by 38 years of exile and extreme economic hardships in an attempt to survive in France.
T2xC9 - La telefonista
Technology has advanced at such a speed that it’s hard to imagine that the big novelty a century ago was that the towns of Catalonia managed to have a telephone. Literally, one. And things were always happening around it.
T2xC6 - El monstre de Palau de Santa Eulàlia
It has taken many years of struggle to ensure that crimes against women are given visibility and judged with severity. Centuries ago, cases had to be very flagrant to reach the judicial authorities. This is what happened in the 18th century in a small village near Castelló d’Empúries.
T2xC5 - Amb la mà llarga
Throughout all periods of history, there have been public servants who have taken advantage of their privileged position for their own personal benefit. In Tremp, between 1824 and 1829, an event took place that, if it happened now, would certainly make the news.
T2xC4 - El crim del carrer Assaonadors
In the archives, there is documentation of all kinds, including that which lays bare the vileness of certain individuals, capable of the most horrific crimes for just a handful of coins, as happened in Barcelona.
T2xC3 - Explosions i caputxins
After more than a century of waiting, the expansion works for the Port of Tarragona resumed in 1790. Having overcome so many obstacles, people were in a rush to see it grow. Perhaps a little too much so.
T2xC2 - Les fetilleres de Tortosa
In the Tortosí neighbourhood of Remolins, in 1656, a dying neighbour made a fatal accusation against two women from the neighbourhood. This would change their lives forever, because superstitions and popular beliefs carried more weight than reality.
T2xC1 - Amb les cartes a la mà
A hot summer night in 1667, in Santa Coloma de Farners, resentment boiled within a man who had long wanted to eliminate his adversary, despite his profession in theory not allowing him to know hate. The tracks of a crime can be traced in documents where you would least expect it.
T2xC7 - Mossèn a la fuga
In July 1909, Spain was unsuccessfully attempting to conquer new colonial positions in North Africa. Faced with a shortage of personnel, it mobilised the reservists, men who were mostly already fathers. That angered the working classes, especially in Barcelona, where the Tragic Week broke out. Amidst that spiral of urban violence, a priest was involved in an episode that perfectly illustrates the mood of Barcelona in 1909.
T2xC8 - Mort al Liceu
In 1893, the Gran Teatre del Liceu was the scene of one of the most serious terrorist attacks ever experienced in Catalonia. The events sent shock waves through society, as the records show.
Turistes de la història
Over three centuries tourism has changed a lot but, in essence, perhaps it has always been the same.
Elionor de Sicília: Una digna lloctinent reial
Rediscovering the life of an outstanding sovereign who played a fundamental role in the political life of the 14th century, something that made her one of the Crown of Aragon's only lieutenants.

Amb feresa de silenci
Breaking the silence, remembering those who have been forgotten, giving voice to women artists whose presence has been made invisible
La restauració del pal·li florentí de la Passió: un resultat que ha sortit brodat!
Threads of silk wound with silver or gilded silver, embroidered more than six hundred years ago. Just approaching such an object creates an awesome sensation. A team of restorers has worked meticulously to restore this Gothic altar frontal to its former glory. The restored work now graces the Seu de Manresa after a year's restoration work by the Catalan Centre for Conservation (CRBMC).
Les ciutats dels morts: espais plens de vida
Centres of ritual, pathways lined with monuments, resting places, and places for reflection. Burial grounds are, paradoxically, places full of life that help us better understand our society's past.
Com resoldre un puzle de 3.000 peces
In 1996 an exceptional find was made at the Roman villa in Els Munts, a majestic residence near Altafulla in Tarragona. It was a ceiling, exceptional both because of its size, 15 square metres and, above all, because of its structure. The restoration of this ceiling was like putting a massive jigsaw puzzle back together again. This is the story of how it was done.
T1xC8 - Els crims de Barba Rossa
Little do tourists imagine that, smeared with sunscreen and coated in sand, they are enjoying Catalan beaches that were once the scene of terrible pirate and corsair attacks. Some episodes have reached us in almost legendary form, but there is one that we can reconstruct step by step thanks to a notary who fought against them in 1543.
T1xC7 - Els castells no maten
Two centuries ago, Valls was stained with blood. A series of murders threw a dark cloud over the life of the city. Sometimes, however, things are not what they seem. And what seemed on the surface to be a bitter human tower (casteller) rivalry in fact went much deeper. Two hundred years later, we uncover the mystery thanks to the documentation preserved about those events.
T1xC6 - La filla del mecànic
Archives work so quietly and discreetly that sometimes it seems like they’re not there. But their mission is vital to preserve the memory and history of the country. And at the most unexpected moment, their task can change a person’s life.
T1xC4 - Temptat pel maligne
For many centuries, crimes were punished with penalties that now seem terrible to us but were intended to make an example of their perpetrators. In Barcelona, in July 1612, there was a case that left a curious documentary trail.
T1xC3 - L'espia disfressat
Sometimes the Archive depositories preserve documents that seem to be the thing of novels and immediately capture the imagination of those who consult them. It doesn’t have to be anything too complicated. Just a photograph is enough to start asking questions and try to figure out who the people in it are.
T1xC1 - El bruixot de Terrassa
In a time when public healthcare was a utopia and people could not afford a doctor, there were always unscrupulous and self-proclaimed experts trying to profit from the misery of others. They were people without any kind of training who treated patients with remedies that could sometimes have serious consequences.
T1xC2 - El submarí fantasma
During the First World War, the German army began to use submarines. Their unexpected attacks caused panic on the high seas, especially in May 1915 with the sinking of the ocean liner Lusitania. That is why, when the captain of the Loukkos explained what had happened to him in December of that year, everyone wanted to know more.
T1xC9 - Un carnaval macabre
On the day of Carnival in 1894, in Armentera, taking advantage of the fact that the whole town was in revelry, a terrible murder was committed that would have remained unsolved if it were not for the mayor’s intuition.
T1xC5 - Matar colomins
On 19 May 1928, eight children and two women were murdered in La Pobla de Ferran, a village in the municipality of Passanant, located in La Conca de Barberà. The documentation preserved in the archives allows us to reconstruct how that monstrous crime was perpetrated.
El teatre de la fe
We travel through time and space to once again reunite a masterpiece of the Catalan Romanesque.
Quatre palaus a la Rambla
The Güells leave their mark on the Ramblas. We travel back to the second half of the 19th century to discover what life was like for the families that lived in four palaces, all of which were located around an avenue that was becoming Barcelona's main thoroughfare.

Barcelona, ciutat de dracs
The legend from the saint's point of view, but above all, from the dragon's. Every 23 April Catalonia is full of roses and books to celebrate the 'Diada de Sant Jordi', or Saint George's Day. It is a tradition full of deep symbolism for all Catalans.
"The Past is Female"

We find out what the experts think about how women were represented between 12,000 and 4,500 years ago at the Roca dels Moros prehistoric site.
