Memorial "El Timbaler del Bruc"

This memorial (the Drummer of El Bruc) is inspired by the life of Isidre Lluçà i Casanoves (1791-1809) who fought at El Bruc. His story created the Catalan legend of the Timbaler del Bruc and he became a national hero of the Peninsular War, which took place from 1808 to 1814 between the Spanish, Portuguese and British on the one hand and the French under command of Napoleon on the other side.
