The Diada marks the date (September 11, 1714) when Barcelona fell to Spanish and French forces in the War of Succession, that redrew the map of Spain. This year the Diada opens the final straight in the dash to hold a vote on whether Catalonia should break away from Spain, a move the Spanish government has branded unconstitutional. / AFP PHOTO / PAU BARRENAPAU BARRENA/AFP/Getty Images
