Historical background
SPAIN - FRENCH OCCUPATION OF BARCELONA
(12/02/1808-30/05/1814)
Barcelona was occupied by French troops on February 12, 1808. The insurrection of May/June 1808 caused a monetary shortage and reinforced supply problems, which forced the city authorities to open a workshop, reviving at the same time Catalan national feeling. Barcelona remains occupied until May 30, 1814.
