The Theatralized Routes are usually carried out in the summer period, coinciding with the Nazi evenings that the Arjona City Council organizes every year, including the activities of the Castles and Battles Route. Because of the strong success of the last edition, which was attended by more than 700 people in the two days already taken in the face of the demand of Arjoneros and visitors who so request, these types of routes will continue to be interpreted on specific dates. If you want to attend them, do not lose sight of our website, as these visits will be announced in advance, so that anyone who wishes to participate in them can do so.

Contextualization and Characters:

The Teatralized Guided Tours or Routes differ in content from the other visits offered. In this case the protagonists of the history of Arjona take life, to tell you in the first person the episodes or events by which they are recognized, all of them characterized from time and with contextualized environments or scenarios and live music by the members of the Musical Association "Lira Urgavonense." The narrator interacts with the characters, contextualizing the scenes and leading the audience to the different enclaves where they are interpreted. illustrious characters such as Helvia Paulina, King Alhamar, Fernando III "El Santo," Baron de Velasco, Martin Ximena Jurado, Cardinal Baltasar Moscoso-Sandoval, Juan de Aranda Salazar, Isidoro Pérez de Herrastri and a long etc. participate in these theatrical visits, characters that will make you understand episodes of the history of our locality.

The ticket of the visit includes the guide and entrance to all monuments, Museums and Churches, except the Sanctuary of the Sagradas Reliquias, the cost of the entrance to the Sanctuary is 1 €, to be paid at the entrance of it.

Few places allow visitors to understand medieval history as directly as Burgalimar Castle, one of the oldest fortresses in Europe. In this activity, schoolchildren explore the interior of the fortress accompanied by historical characters who explain, in an engaging and participatory way, what life was like on the frontier between Christian and Muslim kingdoms.

The experience combines historical interpretation, dramatisation and participatory activities, allowing students to become protagonists in a journey back in time. Through role play and short reenactments, they will discover how castles were defended, how life was organised within the fortress, and how important this site was in the history of the Kingdom of Jaén.
