Medieval Days
July, 26-28th
Medieval Days of San Marino, the most anticipated event of the summer that will take you back in time in a one-of-a-kind experience! From 26 to 28 July, the Historic Center of San Marino will be transformed into a fascinating living theater in which adults and children will be able to completely immerse themselves in the Middle Ages, discovering original places and extraordinary experiences.
Get ready for a timeless experience, in which the cobbled streets of the Historic Center will come alive with breathtaking shows, historical re-enactments, medieval markets and much more. You will be catapulted into a magical and evocative atmosphere, where the sounds, scents and customs of the time will make you feel truly part of that ancient time.
The four days of the Medieval Days will be full of unmissable events. You can attend juggling shows, medieval fights, flag parades, dances and medieval music concerts. You can also admire skilled craftsmen at work, creating objects according to ancient artisan techniques. The little ones will be able to participate in educational workshops, learning to create objects as in the past and discovering the daily life of children in the Middle Ages.
There will be no shortage of medieval markets, where you can purchase unique and authentic objects, such as clothing, weapons, jewelery and household items, all made according to the traditions of the time. You will have the opportunity to enjoy culinary delights typical of the Middle Ages, such as street foods, cheeses, breads and desserts prepared according to ancient recipes.
But the Medieval Days are not just shows and markets. You will have the opportunity to explore the Historic Center of San Marino, one of the oldest fortified cities in the world, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. You can visit its ancient buildings, towers, walls and museums which tell the thousand-year history of this unique Republic. It will be an unmissable opportunity to discover the historical and cultural roots of San Marino and its people.
Rossella Fugaro of Trends, leader of the event organizing team, declared: "San Marino is history. History of freedom, of culture, of community. And where there is history, we often feel the need to tell it to those who come from outside , with the right pride and the necessary awareness of those who want to share their past with as many people, places and cultures as possible. This is the secret of Giornate Medioevali". Source: libertas.sm
