The Castles of Vilafranca They have made history again this afternoon, at home and on the day of Tots Sants, by uploading for the first time an unreleased ‘9 de 9 amb folre’. It was the first time that a group dared to take on this colossus in which almost 500 people participated and which has weighed more than 12,000 kilos.

It is a complex construction consisting of nine floors tall and nine people per floor. Until now, it had only been attempted in trials, with partial success, but never in an official competition. Hence the feat of the ‘verds’, followed live by more than 6,000 people who packed the square. “We have achieved something historic. It is proof that nothing is impossible,” said Sisco Benet, ‘cap de colla’ of Vilafranca.
The construction has risen to the formation of the third fin. That’s where it ended up collapsing. “It was a shame not to be able to complete it completely, but that does not mean that we are facing an unprecedented achievement. No one had ever dared to bring a ‘nou de nou amb folre’ to the square,” added Benet.
