The atmosphere of the Middle Ages is back in the oldest Republic of the world.

From 26 to 28 July San Marino will immerse itself in the Middle Ages with Medieval Days.

Three days of performances and historical re-enactments to experience the Old Town of San Marino in the manner of ancient times.

The Old Town will be transformed into an evocative theatre where adults and children will be able to dive into the past and encounter fascinating pictures of medieval life, experiencing original places and singular stories, discovering a unique and impressive historical reality, rich in significant cultural testimonies.

Streets and squares of the Old Town will come alive with performances by knights, jesters, minstrels and artisans; visitors may also watch demonstrations of ancient crafts and participate in medieval games. Cava dei Balestrieri will host the exciting evening shows that will culminate on Sunday evening with the traditional Challenge of the Tricorniolo.

Special opening of the Crossbowman Museum

The Medieval Days are also an opportunity to visit the Crossbowman Museum. Through the exhibition of memorabilia, memories, awards and costumes, visitors will be able to learn about the fascinating history of the San Marino Crossbowmen Federation, a historical group founded in 1956 to restore an ancient tradition, documented since the fourteenth century, linked to crossbow shooting competitions.
