Modernized information panels with QR codes in a historical site in the Ebro Lands.

The Amposta City Council presented the 2026 Historical Memory program, featuring twenty events from February to November, and renovated the panels at the Torre de la Carrova.

The presentation took place at the Torre de la Carrova itself, led by the Mayor of Amposta, Adam Tomàs, and the Councillor for Culture and Historical Memory, Inés Martí. The project involved installing three new information panels that incorporate QR codes with translated content, making the history of this site, integrated into the Democratic Memorial network, more accessible.

"We want to explain history in an accessible and interactive way for everyone, moving away from an excessively institutional narrative and focusing on people."

Adam Tomàs · Mayor of Amposta
The mayor emphasized that the panel renovation aims to broaden the perspective on historical memory, incorporating the narrative of exiles and deportees. Regarding the program, it begins on Friday, February 6, with the presentation of the book El maqui que encara lluita, by Enric García Jardí and Joan Busquets Verges.
Councillor Inés Martí detailed that the program will include book presentations, documentary screenings, an exhibition on the role of women during the Civil War and the Battle of the Ebro, guided urban routes, and river itineraries aboard the electric boat La Perla.
One of the most notable events will be the commemoration of the 87th anniversary of the start of the Battle of the Ebro, on Saturday, July 25. Under the slogan “Recordem la guerra per retrobar la pau” (We remember war to rediscover peace), a nocturnal walk has been organized between the Torre de la Carrova and the Mas de Talarn, seeking to foster collective reflection on peace and democratic values.
