Carlist sieges of Gandesa

Historical milestone · Gandesa, Terra Alta, Tarragona

Image of Gandesa, not of the place itself.

During the First Carlist War (1833-1840) the town, fortified and loyal to the liberal government, was attacked at least seven times by the bands of general Ramón Cabrera. The sieges ruined the harvests and depopulated much of the municipality.
