A Coruña Medieval Fair
The A Coruña Medieval Fair is one of the summer’s most popular festive events in the Old Town of A Coruña, a historic market set in the Middle Ages that fills the streets and squares of the old town with artisan stalls. The A Coruña Medieval Fair takes place around the Collegiate Church of Santa María del Campo and Azcárraga Square, featuring craft stalls selling leather goods, pottery, wrought iron, gold and silverwork, and candles, alongside food stalls offering mead, artisanal Galician cheeses, and empanadas. During the fair, A Coruña’s Old Town transforms into a living stage with minstrels, parades, falconers, military encampments, and theatrical performances. The A Coruña Medieval Fair is, along with the one in Betanzos, one of Galicia’s most established medieval markets and an essential stop during the summer in A Coruña for anyone who wants to experience the Atlantic heritage of the walled city amid music, grilled food, and the mist of the Orzán River.

A little background
Coruña’s Old Town preserves the original medieval layout that Alfonso IX of León granted to the town in 1208, when the new settlement was organized around the port and the Collegiate Church of Santa María del Campo. This medieval heritage served as the basis for the City Council of A Coruña to revive, in the 21st century, an annual Medieval Fair, following in the footsteps of other historical reenactment fairs that took root in Galicia beginning in the late 1990s.
The A Coruña Medieval Fair is held every summer on the cobblestone streets of the Old City, coinciding with the patron saint festivities, and features a craft market, traditional cuisine, and reenactment performances. Over the years, it has established itself as one of the most popular cultural events on A Coruña’s calendar, attracting thousands of visitors who fill the walls of the Orzán and the steps of the Collegiate Church in search of the Atlantic and medieval atmosphere of old Crunia.
