The Middle Ages in Valvasone

From 3 to 6 September the village of Valvasone becomes the setting for a journey back to the Middle Ages, where the past continues to interact with the present, amidst ancient walls, encampments, performances, duels and traditional crafts.

The theme for the 2026 edition is the “Orcolat”, the earthquake that left an indelible mark on the memory of Friuli, transforming it into a narrative that weaves together history, identity and rebirth.

Here is all the information on the re-enactment and how to take part
