477 activities to enjoy Catalan heritage

[Inkriql]

Heritage is present in every corner of towns and cities: palaces, monasteries, sites and historical gardens. So much that sometimes goes unnoticed. Therefore, the European Heritage Days, which have been held in Catalonia since 1991 are a good time to become aware and value these assets that are part of our history. Every year there are more places that add to this party. This year, 211 municipalities (11% more) have programmed a total of 477 activities (20.45% more) of all kinds that started yesterday and will continue until tomorrow.
Cervera is one of the municipalities that this year brings news. Among them, an application that allows you to tour the medieval, Jewish and Baroque Cervera with the mobile as a guide and by the hand of three women who represent these three moments of the town. Today, in addition, it opens to the public the exhibition Craftsmen of the Baroque: Cervera and the art of his time in which the workshop of an artisan of the XVIII and 40 works is explained: portraits, altarpieces, sculptures, models, silverware, drawings and plans, created, among others, by Bernat Amorós and Antoni Viladomat, two of the greats of this period.

It is difficult to choose between this large number of activities. To facilitate this, the Catalan Heritage Agency, which coordinates them, has enabled a web page to consult by topic and location.

Above all of them, the accessible visits scheduled for people with hearing and visual disabilities that can be made these days in the Charterhouse of Escaladei, Miravet Castle, Espigol Castle-Mill, Sant Pere de Rodes, the canon of Vilabertran , the archaeological site of the Esquerda and the monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll, which will have a language interpreter are signs. An initiative that would be good to repeat more regularly.

Catalonia Sacrament joins the party with activities in 30 churches and cathedrals. The peak will be tomorrow at 10 am when the bells of all of them celebrate the day with a festive ringing. Intangible heritage of the good.
