About Medieval Times in Binasco

Once a year, Binasco travels back in time: the Visconti Castle and its streets come alive with flag-wavers, archers, falconers, and medieval shows, while the Creativity and Taste market fills the village with artisans and local products. The Medieval Times in Binasco re-enactment, now in its twelfth edition, is organized by Pro Loco and attracts visitors from all over southern Milan and the nearby Province of Pavia.

A Dive into the Middle Ages

Medieval Times in Binasco is the historical re-enactment that transforms the Visconti Castle of Binasco and the streets of the center into a village of yesteryear every year. We are in the Municipality of Binasco, in the Province of Milan, where the ancient Visconti fortress offers the ideal setting to bring back to life the atmospheres, crafts, and shows of the Middle Ages.

Flag-wavers, Archers, and Falconers

For a whole day, the public immerses itself in an "atmosphere of another time" with flag-wavers, archers, falconers, and medieval shows, capable of drawing large crowds from the provinces of Milan and Pavia. The re-enactment is accompanied by the Creativity and Taste market, where exhibitors offer artistic craftsmanship — handmade objects, jewelry, leather goods, wood and metal works — and local food and wine products.

The Twelfth Edition

Organized by the Pro Loco of Binasco with the support of local associations, the event has reached its twelfth edition, confirming itself as one of the most cherished appointments on the local calendar. The selection of exhibitors prioritizes quality, to guarantee visitors a market worthy of the evocative castle setting.
