Palio di Oria – Historical Pageant of Frederick II and Tournament of the Districts

Palio di Oria 2025: the 58th edition

The 2025 edition of the Palio di Oria, the 58th, was held from July 31 to August 11, confirming the extended format that combines the traditional two days with a long calendar of Medieval Nights. In the streets of the historic center of Oria, in the province of Brindisi, over 800 participants paraded, including ladies, knights, jesters, musicians, and flag-wavers.

On Saturday, the Historical Pageant accompanied the entrance of Frederick II and the proclamation of the Tournament Edict; on Sunday, August 10, 2025, at the Campo dei Padri Rogazionisti, the four districts of Castello, Giudea, Lama, and San Basilio competed in the five trials. The Palio was won by the San Basilio District.
