Hello everyone,
Last summer I visited an exbition called "Valencians en guerra. 1808 - 1814" in Alicante.
Look at this map and check if French troops occupied the village or town where you live now.
Exposició AHPA PICS
Now look at these paintings by the Spanish artist Francisco José de Goya.
Do you know them?
When do you think he painted them.
And why? Loot at the men's faces?

Now let's visit the pictures in the Prado Museum webpage.
"The 2nd of May 1808 in Madrid" or "The fight against the mamulekes"
"The 3rd of May 1808 in Madrid" or "The Executions of the mountain of Príncipe Pío"
Who was Príncipe Pío? When was he born?
Where did he live? What was his job? How did he die?
Look at these pictures.
Do you know who lived here?
That's right, Príncipe Pío's daughter, Isabel María Pío de Saboya y Spinola and her second husband, Antonio Valcárcel y Pérez Pastor.
Why did they come from Madrid to Alicante?
