This year, coinciding with one of the most immediate emergencies that the country is suffering, such as the drought, the president of the Generalitat has chosen to make his speech from the Dipòsit del Rei Martí, under the Torre Bellesguard estate, to highlight the Government’s commitment to reversing this emergency.
The Dipòsit del Rei Martí is located between the streets of Jaume Càncer and Bellesguard, in the neighborhood of Sant Gervasi-Bonanova, and its construction is linked to the existence of a water mine that was under the old property of Torre Bellesguard, by the architect Antoni Gaudí, which had been built on the remains of the last fortress in which Martí l’Humà lived, between 1408 and 1410.
