During the second fortnight of July, Tortosa is transformed, travelling back in time to show the splendour of a 16th-century city.
Since 1996, this town in Tarragona has celebrated this unique festival recreating one of the most interesting points in its history: the Renaissance. Over these days, the streets and façades are adorned with tapestries, carpets, torches and banners, while the inhabitants of Tortosa dress in period costumes, with rosettes representing the colours of their districts. In total, over 3,000 people actively participate in recreating the atmosphere of a 16th-century city.
