Significance
The Cincomarzada marked a failed Carlist attempt to seize Zaragoza on 5 March 1838, during the First Carlist War. The city's successful resistance denied the Carlists a significant urban center and became a point of civic pride. The event is commemorated today as a popular holiday in Zaragoza, reflecting how the defense of the city against a Carlist force of 2,800 entered local memory as an act of collective heroism by its citizens.
