August 2024 Night-time dramatized visits at Lorca castle
Hunt for the missing manuscript hidden in Lorca castle by King Alfonso X in the 13th century!
King Alfonso X “El Sabio” is one of the key figures in the history of Murcia, having led the “reconquista” in which control of the area was wrested from the Moors in the 13th century, and is also revered as a man of great knowledge, learning and cultural interest.
These are the elements of the historical leader which lie behind a series of night-time dramatized tours of Lorca castle during August: the legend is that at some point during his time in Murcia Alfonso wrote a secret manuscript which could change the course of history, but hid it so that no-one could put it to use for their own purposes. The theory is that Lorca castle is the most likely hiding place for the document, and this dramatized tour consists of an interactive search for his wise words.
The activity, which is held on every Wednesday and Friday during August 2024, is designed for all age groups and registration is available online here at the following prices (including entry into the Torre Alfonsina):
Adults (over 16s): 12.50 euros
Reduced tariff for holders of the Lorca y Tú card, students, pensioners, etc): 10.50 euros
5- to 12-year-olds: 8.50 euros
Under-5s may accompany their families free of charge.
Further information is available by telephone on 968 479003 or 968959646 and by email to info@lorcatallerdeltiempo.com and recepcion.fortaleza@lorca.net.
