EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stables of the historic castle of San Fernando de Figuieres, which endured a tumultuous siege by the French during the Spanish War of Independence in 1809. The image transports us back to a time when this majestic fortress stood as a symbol of strength and resilience. The focal point is undoubtedly the door on the left, which serves as a haunting reminder of Mariano Alvarez de Castro's imprisonment within these very walls. De Castro, an esteemed officer and military governor of Gerona, met his tragic fate here from 1749 to 1810. Painted by A. Navarrese in the 18th or 19th century, this artwork now finds its home at Madrid's Museum of Armee. Lafita y Blanco skillfully captures every intricate detail with their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate both the architectural grandeur and historical significance held within these stone walls. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported into an era long gone but not forgotten - an era filled with tales of bravery and sacrifice that shaped Spain's fight for independence. This photograph invites us to reflect on history while marveling at the beauty that remains in even its most solemn corners.
