In Città di Castello, the Palio delle Quattro Porte di Balestra Manesca returns once again this year, featuring four separate tournaments, each dedicated to one of the ancient city gates that once surrounded the town.
The Sant’Egidio Tournament will take place on Sunday, May 25, followed by the San Giacomo Tournament on Sunday, June 22. The San Florido Tournament will be held on Sunday, September 28, and the event will conclude with the Santa Maria Tournament on Sunday, October 12.

Città di Castello proudly preserves a history of noble chivalric traditions and ancient arts, among which the Balestra Manesca holds a place of great significance.
For countless generations, skilled local crossbowmen have competed in events that recall the heroic feats of the past, celebrating both craftsmanship and the nobility of this time-honored art.
