ERC’s Barcelona, 1931-1939. Image and Heritage

The republican victory of April 14, 1931 led to the hegemony in Catalonia of republicanism that could articulate control over the new Generalitat and over Barcelona City Council to build a new capital for an emerging country. In a few years, during the republican hiatus of 1931-1939, Barcelona underwent extraordinary urban, social and cultural changes. The article proposes a journey through the materiality that has survived us from the emerging Barcelona of the 1930s. The route includes places of political significance, spaces that were significant from a cultural point of view, elements that responded to the social interest of the moment, urban enclaves, spaces of war. All in all, a relevant heritage that still typifies the character of the City.
