Medieval Festival Land of Troubadours of Castelló d'Empúries

The Tierra de Trovadores Festival in Castelló d'Empúries is one of the first historically themed cultural festivals in Catalonia and represents the most important cultural and festive event in the town during the year.

This festival transforms into a multidisciplinary, recreational, and cultural space where the people of Castelló d'Empúries enthusiastically relive their past. The festive spirit blends with the commemoration of the Middle Ages, a time when Castelló d'Empúries was known as the land of troubadours. At that time, the Counts of Empúries acted as protectors and patrons of troubadours and minstrels, and some of them, such as Count Ponç Hug IV (1277-1313) and the Child Peter I (1325-1342), were even authors of lyrical compositions.

The media coverage and scale of the festival have helped to make it a major national event. It has crossed borders and participated in other national and European festivals, establishing international co-productions and collaborating on medieval conferences organized by Catalan universities. Furthermore, the festival has been featured on the covers of leading medieval history magazines, further increasing its visibility and prestige.

If you like history and medieval culture, you can't miss this festival.
