Description

The impact of the Black Death and its subsequent outbreaks led to a significant drop in the population of the city of Manresa. In order to deal with this serious demographic crisis, the city council granted temporary exemptions from direct municipal taxes to those foreigners who came to settle with their families. In this case, the beneficiary was Nicolau Alamany, originally from the town of Embach, in Austria, who during the next 10 years would only have to contribute to the carvings that were made for works on the walls and the ditch.
