MOORS AND CHRISTIANS FESTIVITIES

MOORS AND CHRISTIANS FESTIVITIES

During the last weekend of June, Alcazar de San Juan relives a part of its history through the Moors and Christians Festival celebrated in the city since 1988.

The music, dance, gunpowder, crafts, and the banners that dress some of the spaces of the city transport neighbors and visitors to the time of the Reconquest.

The Moors and Christians Festival was born on the initiative of the neighborhood association of one of the most symbolic neighborhoods of the city, that of Santa Maria, under the tutelage of the Cultural Association of Moors and Christians “Al-Kasar”.Since its origin, the festival has maintained the celebration year after year with theatrical representations that recreate the most significant moments of a decisive historical period for the city, as well as for its name, first coined as Alkasar and later Alcázar de San Juan.
