Joust of the Castles of Torre

The 2025 Edition

The 39th edition of the Joust of the Castles, on September 20-21, 2025, at the Castle of Torre, reprised the grand re-enactment of late 15th-century Friuli. Over 350 costumed participants took part in the parade, including 200 artists from 23 of the best historical groups on the peninsula—from Abruzzo, Emilia Romagna, Marche, Umbria, Veneto, and numerous Friulian companies.

Among the events were the medieval market with 17 merchants, "Mytos" fire shows, the parade with nobles, knights, and artisans, the knightly joust, and, for the third consecutive year, the Historical Palio of Archery team competition between the districts of Torre, Vallenoncello, Villanova, and Rorai Grande. Guided tours of the museum, workshops for children, medieval games, and period gastronomy with "chalda" completed the program.
