San Marino Medieval Days

The most popular festival in San Marino, Medieval Days sees the entire city roll back the clock and transform into a medieval village. Shopkeepers dress in period costumes, taverns have special menus, and the streets of San Marino are filled with jesters, fortunetellers, minstrels and other performers. Highlights of the festival are costumed parades and a crossbow exhibition, while other events include fire-breathing displays, flag-waving competitions, the Courtesans of Serraville, the royal court, and a selection of historical games. Held each year at the end of July, and is great fun for anyone interested in historical San Marino. Don't miss the taverns serving authentic medieval food and drinks!
