On July 9, the anniversary of the Turkish assault of 1558 is commemorated in Ciutadella, when a large army captured many inhabitants and plundered the city. This date, known as “El Nou de Juliol”, has been remembered with solemn events since 1852, including mass, reading of the Act of Constantinople and presentation of a laurel wreath next to the obelisk des Born, a symbol of resistance. This event is a historical tradition that honors the courage of the people in the face of adversity and keeps collective memory alive.
