This Sunday you can travel to the Middle Ages without leaving Buenos Aires and spend a weekend in an amazing castle that opens its doors for a medieval Christmas edition with free admission.
A Byzantine Castle in Buenos Aires opens its doors for a Medieval Festival with archery, mead and live music.
Travel to the Middle Ages without leaving Buenos Aires because this weekend, one of the most beautiful castles opens its doors for the Christmas edition of a medieval fair where you can feel in another era. The appointment is at Castell Forte, one of the most amazing and unknown castles in the suburbs. This free Medieval Festival awaits you on December 14 with music, gastronomy, craftsmen and historical activities.
In case you don’t know it, the Castell Forte was built in 1874 by Italian engineer José Canale and is inspired by a Byzantine palace with towers, stained glass windows, wooden staircases and historic halls that make it a secret icon of southern Greater Buenos Aires. For years, stories circulated about subway passages connecting the house with other parts of the neighborhood and some fragments can still be visited on guided tours, adding a touch of mystery.
