This January 29 marks ten years since the tower in Rosselló collapsed, a day that the population of Segrià still remembers painfully. The ultimate goal of the Associació Mariana, which has been fighting for this cause for years, is to achieve the reconstruction of this much-missed element.
“"We seek for the children of the town to know its history and for the elders to remember it."
The commemorative day focused on a popular and demanding afternoon snack in the Plaça de l’Església, starting at 5:30 p.m. The events included games, drawing exhibitions, music, a videomapping, and the reading of a manifesto to request the involvement of all administrations in the future of the bell tower.
The church, the town's only Local Cultural Asset of Interest, hosted an exhibition of school work inside, as the bell tower has been part of the curriculum for 'knowing the town'. Outside, activities included the game of Jenga, symbolizing the reconstruction, and a performance by the sardana group La Purpurina. The mapping on the facade, created by Lupe Capelll, and music from the local group Fox System closed the event, organized in collaboration with the collective L’Ensorrada.
