Motta Medievali Feste


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.
