Английская Википедия:Hiking Club of Catalonia
The Hiking Club of Catalonia (Шаблон:Lang-ca) is a sporting and cultural organisation founded in 1876 and today offering services that include courses in mountaineering and organised hikes. The club also has a library of maps and photographs.
The Club was founded during a period known as, and by people involved in, the Catalan Renaissance, for the purposes of investigating the richness of Catalonia from the perspectives of science, literature and the arts.[1]
The Club was instrumental in promoting the Catalan language. In 1906 it organised the First International Congress on the Catalan Language. In 1907 it passed a resolution to create the Institute for Catalan Studies to pursue the study in a more academic way.
In order to explore Catalonia's architectural heritage, the architect and politician Lluís Domènech i Montaner visited the Valleys of Boí and Taüll near the border with Aragon in 1904, 1905 and 1906. In September 1907 the Institute for Catalan Studies and the Club organised a now famous archaeological mission to the area[2] bringing to light important churches and their frescoes, now the subject of a World Heritage Site. Amongst those who undertook the trip in 1907 was the influential architect, politician and art historian Josep Puig i Cadafalch who wanted to make an inventory of the architectural and artistic heritage of Catalonia.[3] Joana Vidal i Tarragó lectured them about folklore.[4]
After the Spanish Civil War, when it was prohibited to use Catalan in the public sphere, the Club was the first organisation to publicly teach in Catalan, using as a pretext the need to know the toponymy of Catalonia.
In 1999 the Club was awarded a UNESCO Medal.[5]
