Step into medieval life by adopting the roles and attitudes of period characters as you move through Montblanc’s compact, fortified streets. The program combines a visit to the Museu Comarcal de la Conca with guided exploration of the town’s exteriors—its church, walls, castle remnants and medieval lanes—using immersive storytelling and practical activities to surface the architecture, heraldry and social order of the era.
