1854 cholera epidemic

Historical milestone · Solsona, Solsonès, Lleida

Image of Solsona, not of the place itself.

The cholera epidemic that swept through Catalonia in 1854 struck Solsona hard, a walled city of narrow streets. The mortality was added to the instability of the Carlist wars and halted urban growth for decades.
