In addition to the decoration of the city, “other surprises are also being prepared, which will be announced in due course”.
In the patio al-Andaluz, located in front of the Paços do Concelho building, the municipality will also present a portico, located on Rua 5 de Outubro, "signaling the entrance into a magical environment", and works of art inspired by the Koran that decorate the usual mosque, already erected next to the city turret.
The gastronomy will also be added to the event, where “true and diverse medieval flavors” can be enjoyed by the city's restaurants.
