Illustrious inhabitants of the 10, Royal Square<\/h2>\nFrancesc Pujols<\/h3>\n
He was a poet, philosopher and art critic<\/strong>. He was born in 1882 in the number 10 Royal Square and with 20 years his poetry was awarded in the Jocs Florals (literary contest) and two years later publishes his first book of poetry.<\/strong> It will also be during 1904 when with his first lecture at the Ateneu Barcelon\u00e9s on the painter Mari\u00e0 Pidelaserra he began his career as an art critic<\/strong>. In addition, he will be one of the first defenders of a very controversial architect at the time: Antoni Gaud\u00ed,<\/strong> publishing in 1927 “The artistic and religious vision of Gaud\u00ed”, translated into French by Salvador Dal\u00ed.<\/strong> In fact Dal\u00ed affirmed that his intellectual father was Francesc Pujols and demonstrates him by dedicating the painting “Hiparxiol\u00f3gico Sky”, the book Pujols per Dal\u00ed and a sculpture in front of the Dal\u00ed Theater Museum in Figueras.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.0.100″ src=”https:\/\/www.barcelonina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/FotoPujolsDal\u00ed640.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” align=”center” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” alt=”10 Royal Square” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Oca\u00f1a” _builder_version=”3.0.100″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n
Oca\u00f1a<\/h3>\n
He was the most charismatic resident<\/strong> of the 10 Royal Square. This is the reason why in any compilation of Barcelonan characters, Oca\u00f1a has a privileged place. He was born in Cantillana, province of Seville in 1947 and moved to Barcelona in 1971, attracted by the freedom that the city offered him<\/strong>. Homosexual and proud to be, he also declared himself an anarchist with different performances among which is walking the Rambla dressed as a woman, without underwear and rolling up his skirt.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Oca\u00f1a religiositat” _builder_version=”3.0.100″ background_layout=”light” text_font=”Merriweather||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” border_width_all=”1px” custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px”]<\/p>\n
Another facet of his personality was a profound religiosity<\/strong>. His works had a naive style and they were full of color and the images of virgins and angels have a personal and iconographic style<\/strong>. His style was appreciated by many and stood out for his way of expressing himself free<\/strong> in a country still very stagnant and with very archaic values.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.0.100″ src=”https:\/\/www.barcelonina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/VergeOca\u00f1a640.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” align=”center” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” alt=”Oca\u00f1a at the 10 Royal Square” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Oca\u00f1a” _builder_version=”3.0.100″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n
He lived in 10 Royal Square in the 80s giving the apartment a very museum<\/strong> aesthetic. It was much more subdivided than now and the walls of the different rooms were decorated with his works, giving it a great color. The 10 Royal Square was the meeting place of his friends around a good table<\/strong>. Banquets, gatherings and provocation were the main ingredients of these years.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Fotos Oca\u00f1a” _builder_version=”3.0.100″ src=”https:\/\/www.barcelonina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/FotosOca\u00f1a640.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” align=”center” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” alt=”Picures of Oca\u00f1a resident of the 10 Royal Square” \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”Mort Oca\u00f1a” _builder_version=”3.0.100″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n
In September of 1983<\/strong>, Oca\u00f1a travels to Cantillana to see his family and decides to celebrate a carnival<\/strong>. The artist will dress himself in a paper suit, a banner representing the sun and a sparkler crowning the costume. A spark from the flare will make the costume burn, causing severe burns to Oca\u00f1a. He will die a few days later due to complications arising from the accident.<\/p>\nAs a farewell<\/strong> to the popular resident of the 10 Royal Square, a big party was organized in the Plaza Real<\/em>, where friends, acquaintances and greeted celebrated a tribute to life. And it will be from that precise moment when Oca\u00f1a becomes part of the Olympus of Barcelonan characters.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.0.100″ src=”https:\/\/www.barcelonina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/SolOca\u00f1a640.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” align=”center” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” alt=”Oca\u00f1a and the Sun” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Lluis Llach” _builder_version=”3.0.100″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n
Llu\u00eds Llach<\/h3>\n
Well-known Catalan singer and last inhabitant of 10 Royal Square before the arrival of the Setba Foundation<\/strong>. He lived in this busy apartment between 1983 and 1999. In fact, the current colors of the walls are the same as Lluis Llach chose.<\/p>\nHe is considered one of the greatest exponents of the Nova Can\u00e7\u00f3<\/strong> (New Song), a cultural and musical movement born under the Franco dictatorship to demand the normal use of Catalan and also to denounce the injustices of the dictatorship. His most well-known song, which could already be defined as a hymn is L’Estaca<\/em> <\/strong>(the stake) composed in 1968 and adapted by Jacek Kaczmarski as the unofficial anthem of the Polish union Solidarnosc, and became the official anthem of the club Union Sportive Arlequins Perpignan rugby union (Arlequin Sports Union of Perpignan) in 1997.<\/p>\nThe song was approved by the censors the eighth time that Llach presented it<\/strong>, under the name of Ahir.<\/em> It was banned a year later, but it was already a popular song.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.100″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n
In 1969<\/strong> he offered a concert at the Palau de la M\u00fasica Catalana<\/strong>, consolidating himself as one of the best singer-songwriters of the moment. His charisma and social commitment awaken the interest of the authorities<\/strong>, who will subject him to prohibitions and intellectual persecution. This does not prevent him from singing in different countries, denouncing the reality of the Catalan language and culture.<\/p>\nFrom his beginnings and until his retirement in 2007, his concerts stand out for its musical quality and its social commitment. This commitment will be the basis for his involvement in Catalan politics.<\/p>\n

From now on, every time you pass by the 10 Royal Square, and the lights of the first floor are lit, you can relive some of the moments of life in this cozy flat<\/strong> with seven balconies that invite you to enjoy the life and the bustle<\/strong> of Barcelona.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
