La Campana de Gràcia (which means "Gràcia's Bell") was a very important weekly magazine from Catalonia, a region in Spain. It was written in both Catalan and Spanish. The magazine was known for its funny and sharp satire, which means it used humor, irony, or exaggeration to make fun of people's mistakes or silly ideas, especially in politics. It strongly supported republicanism, which is the idea of having a country led by elected officials instead of a king or queen. It also had anticlerical views, meaning it believed that the church should not have too much power in government or public life. The magazine's main office was in Barcelona.
The Story of La Campana de Gràcia
La Campana de Gràcia started in 1870. It was created by a person named Innocenci López i Bernagossi. The magazine was published for 64 years, which is a very long time for any publication! The very first issue came out on May 8, 1870.
The magazine was published every single week. At first, it mostly talked about Spanish politics. It didn't focus much on Catalan politics or the movement called Catalanism, which was about promoting Catalan culture and self-governance.
However, the magazine's ideas changed over time. By 1906, it openly supported a political group called Solidaritat Catalana. It also started to focus on issues important to working-class people and left-wing political ideas in Catalonia.
From 1932 until its last issue in 1934, the magazine was owned by a political party called ERC. Two of the most famous people who led the magazine were Antonio Sierra and Prudenci Bertrana.
