The La Seu d'Urgell City Council has announced the return of the Canonges Medieval Market on May 30 and 31, now integrated with the Llegendària literary festival.

The new Medieval-Llegendària Fair aims to revitalize the historic center of the Alt Urgell capital. This traditional event, which was suspended during the pandemic, returns with a new format that blends historical reenactments with literary promotion.

"The goal is to offer an experience where history, fantasy, and literature go hand in hand."

Christina Romero · Deputy Mayor for Festivals
The fair will feature a circular route through key locations such as Plaça dels Oms, Canonges Street, and Cadí Park. Visitors can expect medieval battles and craft workshops, while the Pati Palau will serve as the hub for books, storytelling, and local legends.
