September 11: National Day of Catalonia

On September 11th, we celebrate the day Catalans affirm our identity. This date, known as the National Day of Catalonia, is a time of reflection and commemoration that unites us all in a sense of belonging and pride.

At femturisme, we want to join this national outcry. We encourage you to participate in as many activities as possible throughout the country to commemorate September 11th. The planned festivals and events are an opportunity to enjoy Catalan culture and better understand the history of our country.

On this significant day, we remember the fall of Barcelona on September 11, 1714. This date marks a key moment in the history of Catalonia, a reminder of the ongoing efforts of so many generations of Catalans who have fought to keep our identity alive. The Diada is also an opportunity to reflect on the future we want to build: a modern, fair, cohesive, and free society.

For those who want to delve deeper into the history of this date, we recommend the 1714 Route, which allows you to discover key locations of the battle and better understand the historical context of those events. This route is an excellent way to connect with the past and experience the Diada in a more meaningful way.

The Diada is not only a time to remember, but also to celebrate the cultural richness of Catalonia. We invite you to participate in the various activities, including concerts, demonstrations, and cultural events held in different towns and cities. Every year, the Diada brings together thousands of people who take to the streets to express their love for Catalonia and their desire to continue building a better future.
