Cultural and religious festivities in Ciudad Rodrigo

Overview

Ciudad Rodrigo has commenced its IX Medieval Fair, titled ‘La Conjura de Ciudad Rodrigo’. The three-day event features a program of parades, tournaments, theater, and a medieval market designed to recreate historical rivalries between the Garcilopez and Pacheco lineages.

Alongside these festivities, the city is hosting various religious commemorations. The Diocese of Ciudad Rodrigo has launched its 2026/2027 pastoral course, which includes theological conferences and a mass at the Cathedral presided over by Monsignor José Luis Retana. Additionally, the weekend marks the 800th anniversary of the jubilee of Saint Francis of Assisi, featuring historical rites and guided visits to the Convent of San Francisco, as well as the procession of the Virgin of the Rosary.

These events coincide with ongoing efforts to highlight the city’s historical fortifications, including its 12th-century walls and Vauban-style bastions, as a key cultural itinerary following emergency works reported by the Instituto del Patrimonio Cultural de España.
