School tour
Merlón, the court jester, along with the rest of the inhabitants who live in the castle: minstrels, prisoners, magicians, knights, jesters and kings will take you on a magnificent adventure in which you will become part of the castle’s history.
The ladies and knights of the court will be your hosts and show you all the rooms, tell you all the stories and battles that took place here many years ago, and guide you through every corner of the fortress.
The dramatised tour is undoubtedly the star attraction of all our tourist products. Aimed especially at nursery and primary schools, it enables pupils to learn through playing with history. The ladies of the court and the different characters who inhabit the castle, as well as His Majesty King Pedro I, will help the little ones understand the ways of life and customs of the Middle Ages, giving them an unforgettable adventure. This visit is designed and studied to reinforce what is learned at school, as we adapt to the system or project worked on in class. It takes place during the school year, from Monday to Friday.
We also have vending machines selling snacks and sweets, as well as a souvenir shop.
