      As a person from Barcelona I love this video! But at 6:40, the map shows the territories of the Crown of Aragon, which were the Principality of Catalonia, and the kingdoms of Aragon, Valencia and Mallorca. By 1653, Spain was already formed. Many People considers that Spain was formed when the king Ferdinand II of the Crown of Aragon and the queen Isabella I of Castile married in 1469 (Catholics Monarchs). The 2 crowns, had their own laws and worked practically as different states. Basically Spain was a decentralized state. But when the Succession War began, Catalonians decided to support the Habsburgs because of Philip V's ideas of centralization of Spain. When Catalonia was abandoned by its Allies and lost the war, Philip V retired all privileges Catalonia had and they punished them with things like, as you mentioned, construction limitations

      I know for a fact that you did an amazing research for this video. Accurate information and great maps you have to dig in archives to find in goog quality. As a catalan and barcelonian, thank you.

      By the way, you live in my dream house with those views to Montserrat, a sacred and magic mountain for many catalans.

      Barcelona map was planned, designed and even imposed from Madrid …. But was the best, against the archaics catalan ideas of Barcelona burguesees oligarcs.

      As you have related the local catalan project for Barcelona was an antique, poor and silly project while on the contrarian the Madrid project for Barcelona, which was done, is very rational, modern, intelligent and succeded.

      Thanks for being so respectful with the catalan society and their history across Barcelona, as well as for the research about the composition of the city. It has been a really enjoyable pleasure to see the video. Good job.
