The Fossar de les Moreres is a memorial plaza in Barcelona, (Catalonia), adjacent to the basilica Santa Maria del Mar.

The Spanish Civil War (July 1936–April 1939) was a conflict in which the incumbent Second Spanish Republic and political left-wing groups fought against a right-wing nationalist insurrection led by General Francisco Franco, who eventually succeeded in ousting the Republican government and establishing a personal dictatorship. ...

When Felip de Borbó took possession of the Kingdom as a Felip IV of València, there were already lots of supporters of the archduke Carles d’Àustria in the Valencian country, likewise in the Principality and Majorca.
