The Monument to the Heroes of 1809 in Barcelona

Il Monumento agli Eroi del 1809 a Barcellona

Monument to the Heroes of 1809 in Barcelona.
The Monument to the Heroes of 1809, located in Barcelona, ​​is a symbol of resistance and sacrifice. Also known as the Monument to the Martyrs of Independence, it is dedicated to eight people who were executed after a failed attempt to liberate the city from the occupying French troops.
During the Spanish War of Independence (1807-1814), Barcelona was occupied by Napoleon's army and turned into a military stronghold. On May 12, 1809, around 8,000 citizens attempted to overthrow the French troops. The uprising was quickly suppressed and the organizers were captured. On June 2, eighteen conspirators were tried by a military court. Five of them were sentenced to death and executed in front of the Citadel of Barcelona. During the executions, three men rang the bells of the Barcelona Cathedral in an attempt to provoke a second uprising. French soldiers blockaded the cathedral, where the rebels held out for three days before being captured and eventually executed.
The monument, inaugurated in 1929, is located in Plaça Garriga i Bachs, opposite the side entrance to Barcelona Cathedral. It consists of a bronze statue of the five martyrs on a stone pedestal, flanked by tile panels with illustrations of the occupation of Barcelona. The statue was created by Josep Llimona, but was not completed in time for the inauguration. The organization that commissioned the monument decided to go ahead with the inauguration and add the statue later. Completion was delayed by the Spanish Civil War, and Llimona's statue was finally installed in 1941, along with two alabaster angels by Vicenç Navarro.
The Monument to the Heroes of 1809 is a tribute to the sacrifices made for freedom and independence. A plaque at the base of the monument is engraved with the names of the eight martyrs: Father Juan Gallifa, Dr. Joaquim Pou, Juan Massana, Salvador Aulet, Jose Navarro, Pedro Lastortras, Julian Portet and Ramon Mas. The plaque reads: “They sacrificed their lives for God, their country and their king. The grateful city in perpetual memory.”
The monument is located in the heart of the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, ​​near the Cathedral. The nearest metro stop is Jaume I on the L4 line (yellow line). In addition to the monument, other attractions nearby include the Bishop’s Bridge (El Pont del Bisbe), the Wall of the Kiss (The World Begins in Every Kiss) and the Plaça de Sant Felip Neri.

One of the facades of the Sagrada Familia

Una delle facciate della Sagrada Familia

One of the facades of the Sagrada Familia.
The Sagrada Familia, the iconic basilica in Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudí, is famous for its three facades, each of which tells a different part of the life of Christ. Of these, the Passion Facade is perhaps the most austere and dramatic, representing the suffering and death of Jesus.
Work on the Passion Facade began in 1954, almost thirty years after Gaudí's death. Unlike the Nativity Facade, which was rich in detail and decoration, Gaudí imagined the Passion Facade as a more sober and austere work, inspired by the skeletal structure he had experimented with in the Crypt of Colonia Güell.
Oriented towards the west, the facade is supported by six large oblique pillars reminiscent of sequoia trunks. Above them, a pyramid-shaped pediment is composed of eighteen bone-shaped columns, surmounted by a large cross with a crown of thorns and three adoring angels. This austere and linear design is in stark contrast to the decorative richness of the Nativity Facade.
The Passion Facade has three portals, dedicated respectively to Faith, Hope and Charity. The doors, created by the artist Josep Maria Subirachs, are decorated with texts that recount the last days of Jesus, rather than with vegetal motifs as in the Nativity Facade.
– The Portal of Charity: The central portal is separated by a mullioned window with the Greek letters Alpha and Omega, symbols of the beginning and the end. The side doors feature scenes from the Passion according to the Gospels of Matthew and John.
– The Portal of Faith: This portal is dedicated to Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, with a representation of the full moon indicating the time period of the scene.
Subirachs’ sculptures add an extra layer of drama to the façade. The tormented and disturbing figures represent Christ’s suffering during the crucifixion in an extremely realistic way. The straight lines and geometric shapes of the sculptures are unique compared to the rest of the basilica, underlining the austerity of Gaudí’s design.

The Passion Facade of the Sagrada Familia is a masterpiece of drama and symbolism. Every detail, from the bone-shaped columns to the tormented sculptures, helps tell the story of Christ’s suffering and death in a powerful and moving way. This façade not only reflects Gaudí’s artistic vision, but also his deep faith and commitment to creating a work that transcends time.

Where is the cathedral located:

The Passion façade was begun in 1954 according to the drawings and explanations that Gaudí had left. The towers were finished in 1976 and since then work has been carried out on the sculptural decoration. Gaudí designed this façade while recovering from Malta fever in Puigcerdà in 1911. Dedicated to the Passion of Jesus, it aims to reflect the suffering of Christ in his crucifixion, as a ransom for the sins of men.

Having the opportunity to go to Quy Nhon (Binh Dinh, Vietnam) on vacation and visit a dear friend of mine, she took my husband to eat at Sau Cao restaurant, one of the famous and historical restaurants in Quy Nhon.
Sau Cao restaurant has a very large space with many dining tables, but the service is very fast and the dishes are different. Since we were only 3 people, we ordered a very simple menu. We ordered dishes such as: grilled chicken served with sticky rice, steamed shrimp with onions, Duong Chau fried rice… for a quick lunch.
For grilled chicken: I find that since it is free-range chicken, the meat is moderately soft and chewy, the chicken is not too small, and the grilled spices taste delicious. The fried sticky rice served with it is also very delicious.
With the steamed shrimp with onion dish, in our opinion, the shrimp is fresh and boiled, not dry, retains the sweetness of seafood, has the fragrant aroma of onions, and is very delicious when served with fried rice and soy sauce (soy sauce)…
Although the restaurant is large, the service is fast and the dishes are simple like family ones but still retain their freshness.
If we have the opportunity to return to Quy Nhon, we will come back to enjoy the other dishes on the restaurant menu.
This chicken and shrimp:

Thi Anh Dao Truong: Ăn uống tại Quy Nhơn
Có dịp được ra Quy Nhơn (Bình Định, Việt Nam) chơi thăm quan đồng thời thăm một người bạn thân của tôi, cô ấy đã đưa 2 vợ chồng tôi đi ăn quán ăn Sáu Cao 1, một trong những quán ăn có tiếng và lâu đời ở Quy Nhơn.
Quán Sáu Cao 1 có không gian rất rộng lớn với rất nhiều bàn ăn, tuy vậy phục vụ rất nhanh, các món ăn đa dạng. Vì chỉ đi có 3 người nên chúng tôi gọi 1 thực đơn rất đơn giản. Chúng tôi đã gọi các món như là: gà nướng ăn kèm cùng với xôi, tôm hấp hành, cơm chiên dương châu…cho một buổi ăn trưa nhanh gọn.
Đối với món gà nướng: tôi thấy rằng vì là Gà thả vườn nên thịt ăn có độ mềm và dai vừa phải, thịt gà cũng không quá nhỏ, gia vị nướng ăn ngon vừa miệng. Xôi chiên ăn kèm cũng rất ngon.
Với món tôm hấp hành thì theo cảm nhận của chúng tôi là tôm tươi và luộc không bị khô, giữ được độ ngọt của hải sản, có mùi thơm của hành hoà quyện, ăn kèm với cơm chiên và xì dầu (nước tương) rất vừa miệng…
Quán tuy lớn nhưng phục vụ nhanh lẹ và các món ăn đơn giản như bữa cơm gia đình nhưng vẫn giữ được độ tươi ngon.
Nếu có dịp trở lại Quy Nhơn, chúng tôi sẽ quay lại để thưởng thức các món khác trong menu của quán.

The active volcano Cumbre Vieja in La Palma

Il vulcano attivo Cumbre Vieja a La Palma

The active volcano Cumbre Vieja in La Palma.
The Cumbre Vieja volcano, located on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, is known for its significant volcanic activity and its impact on the environment and local communities. Its latest eruption, which began on September 19, 2021 and ended on December 13, 2021, was one of the longest and most devastating in the island's history.
The 2021 eruption was the first on the island since 1971 and had a huge impact. Lava covered over 1,000 hectares, destroying more than 3,000 buildings and forcing the evacuation of around 7,000 people. The lava flow reached the sea, creating a new peninsula and an extensive system of lava tubes.
The eruption had devastating consequences for the environment and the local economy. Banana, avocado and grape crops, which are essential to the island’s economy, have been severely damaged. In addition, air quality has been compromised due to toxic gas emissions, causing respiratory problems among the local population.
Authorities have established an exclusion zone around the lava flow to protect the population from associated dangers, such as explosions and toxic gases. The island’s recovery has been a long and complex process, with extensive damage estimated at around €843 million.
The Cumbre Vieja volcano remains a powerful and unpredictable natural force. Lessons learned from the 2021 eruption are crucial to improving prevention and response measures for future volcanic eruptions, ensuring the safety of local communities and the protection of the environment.

It is probably the oldest city founded in the western Mediterranean area by the Phoenicians in the 11th century BC, although its birth is now officially dated back to the end of the 8th century BC.
Founded with the original name of Gadir (in Phoenician: Gdr, fortress, with the same etymology as Agadir in Morocco) on what was once a small archipelago and now a single island, to exploit the rich trade routes with the Atlantic Ocean in the copper and tin trade. In ancient Greece it was known as Gadeira and in the times of the Roman Empire as Gades from which the current gentilic name of gaditano derives.

The roof of the gatehouse of Park Guell in Barcelona

Le forme del tetto della portineria del Parco Guell a Barcellona

The shapes of the roof of the gatehouse of Park Güell in Barcelona.
The roof of the gatehouse of Park Güell in Barcelona is one of the most iconic works of the famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. This roof, which covers the caretaker's house (Casa del Guarda), is characterized by a wave-shaped covering and covered with colored mosaics, a technique called "trencadís" that Gaudí often used in his works.
Park Güell is one of the masterpieces of the architect Antoni Gaudí, located in Barcelona. Initially conceived as a residential complex, the project was transformed into a public park. Construction began in 1900 and was completed in 1914, and the park was officially opened to the public in 1926.
The staircase and the Salamander (Dragon). At the main entrance to the park, a large staircase leads to the Sala Hipóstila. The staircase is adorned with a colorful mosaic salamander, one of the most recognizable symbols of the park.
Sala Hipóstila. This space was originally designed as a covered market for the residential complex. It is composed of 86 Doric columns that support a roof decorated with mosaics. The structure is an example of Gaudí's ability to combine functionality and aesthetic beauty.
The Serpentine Bench. The central square of the park is surrounded by a long serpentine bench, covered with colorful mosaics. The bench offers panoramic views of Barcelona and is a perfect example of Gaudí's use of trencadís.
The Viaducts. The park is crossed by a series of viaducts designed to allow the passage of pedestrians and carriages without disturbing the natural environment. These viaducts are made of local stone and integrate perfectly into the landscape.
The Casa del Guarda. Located near the main entrance, the Casa del Guarda was intended to house the park's caretaker. The roof of the house is decorated with colorful mosaics and has a wavy shape characteristic of Gaudí's style.
Park Güell is an extraordinary example of Catalan modernism, an artistic and architectural movement that developed at the end of the 19th century. Gaudí, with his unique vision, managed to create a place that harmoniously combines nature, art and architecture. The park was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984.
Park Güell is a very popular tourist attraction and offers visitors the chance to explore one of Gaudí's most creative works. It is advisable to book tickets in advance, especially during high season, to avoid long queues. The park is also a perfect place for quiet walks, artistic photography and to enjoy spectacular views of Barcelona.
