This memorial is a little vague, since it is in spanish, and I have absolutely no idea how to read spanish :) Just kidding, I can take a little at a time! Its says "All the deaths in the defense of the liberties in the constitution of Catalunya in the siege of Barcelona 1713-1714."Im guessing from my limited knowledge of this memorial, it was during the medieval times when the european states or the kingdoms of Spain were infighting with each other and the medieval city of Barcelona was under siege. Its hard to imagine a monument that was dedicated to an event that happened so long ago, since most of the medieval walls of Barcelona have been knocked down during its expansion later on in history. At the top of the monument, there is a gas fed flame that stays lit through the night, every night. Its really cool and touching :) Reminds me of the olympics!
