灵心小榭赏味:“The ancient city of Ponferrada in Leon Province in northwestern Spain, the Knights Templar Festival before the summer solstice every year is worth visiting. The Knights Templar Festival in Ponferrada is really a paradise for cosplay fans and knight fans [color] All tourists can wear medieval costumes and cosplay with city residents and actors to become part of the knight festival. It is so joyful and worth an immersive experience [strong] 🐎 Every year with the light of the first full moon of the summer solstice, Ponferrada will usher in a 5-day holiday and hold a grand "Knights Templar Festival". Among them, the four-day "Knights Templar Night" activities have different themed parades, group ceremonies, concerts, dinners, dramas, and fashion shows to participate in. The entire Temple Castle and the streets of the town are stages. Actors, citizens, pilgrims and tourists will travel together to the Middle Ages where the Knights Templar were located. ♟️Historically, the Knights Templar rose in 1120. It was a military force that was only commanded by the Pope to protect the pilgrimage route and pilgrims. The Ponferrada Temple Castle is the base camp of the Spanish Knights Templar in the ancient country of Leon. In 1312, the Knights Templar developed the medieval banking industry. When they collected debts from the royal nobles, they were discontented and framed, sentenced and convicted, and gradually died out. There is a legend that the Spanish Knights Templar fled because they received the news of the persecution and suppression of the French Knights Templar in advance, and a large amount of treasure was hidden in the valley near the Temple Castle. The story has also been adapted into novels, movies, and game plots. This year's Knights Templar Festival is held from June 28 to July 2. 🐎On June 29, we put on the white cloaks of the Knights Templar, participated in the ceremony of the Grand Master of the Knights Templar for the young new knights, and participated in the Knights Templar parade on the streets of the town. 🦅On June 30, watch the parade of the black-robed Templar cavalry warriors, and the performance of conveying war information with falcons in the castle. The black-robed Templars are usually civilian knights, and the white-robed Templars are usually noble knights. 🥏 Attend the Templar dinner. Dinner reservations are very tight, because there is only one night a year to enter the Templar Castle to attend the Knights' Celebration Dinner. But there are only 3,000 seats in the castle, and tourists usually need to make reservations long in advance every year. Participating guests must wear medieval costumes to attend. We wore white-robed knight costumes to attend [grin] The dinner dishes are ham and foie gras salad, venison, ribs and potatoes, etc. 💃 There are also impromptu performances between the tables by singing and dancing actors. Adult tickets are 40 euros and children's tickets are 20 euros. 🎇7.1, a large-scale real-life stage play in the castle, with thousands of costumed actors playing knights, nobles, and civilians parading, torches, lights, symphony orchestras, fireworks, performing the Knights Templar all the way to exorcise demons, welcome the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail from Jerusalem, enter the Knights Castle, and the whole city celebrates🎬Super exciting 👗7.2, classical costume shows from the 10th to the 16th century, circus performances, Celtic concerts 🤡During the Knights Templar Festival, there are various Knights Templar themed exhibitions, concerts, markets, handcraft workshops, escape room games, etc. There are many free activities, and some paid activities are generally 6-12 euros.”
