Visual reconstruction of the siege suffered by Barcelona on 11 September 1714, within the framework of the Spanish War of Succession. The work explains how, after Catalonia was left without the support of its European allies, it had to organise an army to resist Bourbon superiority. The illustrations by Guillem H. Pongiluppi detail the organisation and equipment of the armies, the combat tactics of the period and the development of the siege until the final capitulation.
