Castellers de Barcelona
First public display (8th of June 1969)
Castellers de Barcelona (Catalan pronunciation: [kəstəˈʎez ðə bərsəˈɫonə]) is a team of castellers from Barcelona founded in 1969.[1] It is the first team to be founded outside the traditional area of human towers and the 5th team ever founded. Their first public display was the 8th of June 1969 in Vendrell. Their shirt is red and their most important appointment is the closest Sunday to Dia de la Mercè (24 September), in Plaça Sant Jaume.
They have crowned almost all the human towers on the range of eight stories and the basic ones of nine. The best human towers crowned by the team are: 5 of 8, 4 of 8 with the needle, 3 of 9 with extra base, 4 of 9 with extra base, 7 of 8 and the pillar of 7 with extra base.
They have received the following awards: the Creu de Sant Jordi of Generalitat de Catalunya, the Medal of Honor of Barcelona and the Sant Martí award from the Sant Martí district of Barcelona.
