The ceremonies of proclamation of the monarchs were never a tradition in the crown of Aragon, quite the opposite of what happened in Castile. In fact they were introduced by the Bourbon dynasty as a result of the War of Succession. On September 24, 1759, the advent to the throne of Carlos III was celebrated in Barcelona. And it is convenient not to forget that the new monarch made the triumphal entry into his kingdom precisely through the port of Barcelona. An entrance loaded with symbolism because, not in vain, it had been almost half a century that a king of Spain had not visited the city.

On September 11, 1759, still with the new king in Italy, the proclamation of Carlos III was made in Madrid. The mayor of the city, in the presence of the high nobility, raised the royal banner in the Plaza Mayor and shouted: “Castilla, Castilla, Castilla for King Carlos III!”, To which the crowd responded with cheers. Later, gold and silver coins with the effigy of the new king were thrown to the people. It was necessary to wait until the summer of 1760 for the act of swearing to take place and the showy parade through the decorated streets of Madrid.
