Get ready to travel back in time! The
Motta Feste Medievali (Medieval Festivals) bring to life the customs and spirit
of the Middle Age. Travel back in time to revel in the atmosphere of medieval
Sicily when this sunny island was under the Norman, Spanish and Muslim rules!
Every summer, Motta is turned into a medieval village to honor an old tradition
celebrating its past. The festival takes place
within the three city Rioni (districts): Panzera (located along via Vittorio
Emanuele and around piazza Umberto, southern part of the town), Vecchia
Matrice, (castle area) and Giovani Maestri (upper part of Motta).
Each district has its
own proud tradition and schedule of events that include medieval plays and
performances.
This year’s festival, which celebrates its 13th anniversary, runs from Aug. 11 - 19 featuring a plethora of events such as medieval cooking, craft displays, music, jousting, jesters, minstrels and other street entertainers.
