After four hundred and forty-four years
of uninterrupted presence in the Mercadal
district, the Bernardine convent of Girona
was burnt down and sacked shortly after
the July 1936 military uprising. The building
was subsequently demolished by the
City Council in order to free the site for
urban development. The first Francoist
City Council deplored the episode, but also
saw it as an opportunity to be exploited.
The present article analyses the recovery
of the Martyrology of Usuard and related
incidents, the steps taken by Abbess Maria
Josefa Tenas and Abbess Bernarda Thió i
Rodés to recover the community’s rights
and re-establish community life elsewhere
and the successive urban development
projects for the site
