A principios del siglo XVIII el enfrentamiento entre Austrias y Borbones divide Europa y hace estallar la guerra de Sucesión. En el año 1705 Cataluña se levanta a favor del archiduque Carlos de Austria. La geoestrategia internacional y los intereses de las grandes potencias acabarán provocando el abandono de los catalanes por parte de sus aliados. Después de un asedio de más de un año sobre Barcelona, el Once de Septiembre de 1714 el ejército borbónico inicia el asalto final. Más de cuarenta mil soldados acometen las maltrechas murallas de la ciudad, defendidas por poco más de seis mil combatientes dispuestos a defender de manera heroica y hasta el último aliento sus leyes e instituciones de gobierno. **English**: At the beginning of the 18th century, the confrontation between the Austrians and the Bourbons divided Europe and caused the War of Succession to break out. In 1705 Catalonia rises in favour of the Archduke Charles of Austria. The international geostrategy and the interests of the great powers would eventually lead to the abandonment of the Catalans by their allies. After a siege of more than a year on Barcelona, on 11th September 1714 the Bourbon army began its final assault. More than forty thousand soldiers attack the battered city walls, defended by just over six thousand combatants ready to defend their laws and institutions of government heroically and to the last breath.
