Can Masdeu (Barcelona, Spain)
ESBarcelona, Spain
A squatted collective home and social centre with terraced vegetable gardens on the Collserola hillside beside Barcelona's Nou Barris district. The building is a 17th-century masia standing on a Roman site, later a nunnery and then a leper hospital, shuttered and abandoned in 1948. After roughly 53 years empty it was occupied by international activists in December 2001. In April 2002 police tried to remove eleven squatters; the residents locked themselves to precarious perches, seesaws and suspended frames outside the building for three days, and as public support grew a judge ordered the police to withdraw, ruling that human rights took precedence over property rights.
