The "Renaixença" was a cultural and literary movement in the Catalonia region during the 19th century. It aimed to revive the Catalan language and promote Catalan literature, arts, and identity. This movement emerged as a response to the decline of Catalan culture and sought to celebrate its rich history and traditions. Key figures of the Renaixença included poets like Jacint Verdaguer and Àngel Guimerà, who played a significant role in revitalizing Catalan poetry and drama. The movement not only fostered a sense of pride among Catalans but also laid the groundwork for future cultural and political efforts to preserve and promote Catalonia's unique heritage.
