Barcelona Hosts Historic Castellers Day of La Mercè on September 27

Building human towers forms a key part of Barcelona's intangible cultural heritage. Traditional music plays throughout the performance as the structures take shape in the square.

Visitor Tips

  • Plaça de Sant Jaume fills up quickly, so arriving at least an hour early is recommended for a good view.

  • Spectators must keep quiet while each castell is built, as signalled by the gralla instrument, to allow participants to concentrate.
