Manresa Town Hall Square, also known as Plaça Major, is the historical and social heart of the city.
In the Middle Ages, the space was divided into two squares: the Especiers Square and the Major Square, separated by houses that disappeared in the 17th century.
It was the scene of historic events such as the fire of 1713 during the Bourbon occupation and the Paper Segellat revolt in 1808, the first civil rebellion in Catalonia against Napoleon's troops.
In 1892, the Town Hall hosted the meeting of the Manresa Bases, considered the origin of political Catalanism.
