Alfonso XII Square

In this urban space, the true heart of Tortosa’s historic Eixample district, people spontaneously gathered before heading to the Town Hall, then located in the old town, to proclaim the Second Republic. Nearby is Martyrs of 1640 Street, an evocative name given during the same period to commemorate the victims of the popular uprising of the summer of 1640, at the outbreak of the Reapers’ War.
