Immerse yourself in the Barcelona of the late 17th and early 18th centuries with 'Barcelona 1700'. Albert Garcia Espuche presents us with a diverse and economically dynamic urban society, globally connected thanks to its strong commercial activity. Discover a city full of contrasts, where religiosity intertwines with celebration, dance, and theater, and where sophistication manifests itself in fashion and gardens. Despite its prosperity, Barcelona faced the horror of war between 1691 and 1714, but managed to resist and recover thanks to the solid foundations built since the 16th century. A work that invites us to reflect on the identity and future of a city that did not need external impositions to prosper.
