International World Heritage Day. Antequera November 16, 2024

Antequera will commemorate International World Heritage Day with an extensive program of activities to be carried out between November 15 and 18. Workshops, routes or guided tours make up the bulk of the activities proposed to commemorate that Antequera has been a World Heritage Site since 2016 thanks to the Site of the Dolmens. In addition, the International Day of Flamenco will be commemorated as Intangible Heritage of Humanity with a children’s show, concerts, conferences and a flashmob. All activities are free except for the one indicated on the poster.

 

From November 15 to 17, in the church of San Juan de Dios, cultural activities related to flamenco will be held to commemorate, on the one hand, the Juan Casillas Cycle; on the other, to pay tribute to International Flamenco Day in order to remember the exact day on which UNESCO recognized this culture as Intangible Heritage of Humanity: November 16. On Saturday 16 there will be a fashion workshop in prehistory to explore clothing of the time (Museum of the Archaeological Complex of the Dolmens, 11:00 a.m.), as well as a family workshop of Roman Mosaics to make these creations inspired by Roman art (Museum of the City of Antequera, 11:30 a.m.). At 12:00 and 16:00 hours on the 16th there will be an accessible route through the historic center, with a meeting place in the Plaza del Coso Viejo. There will be guided tours of the church of San Juan de Dios at 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., a visit with a host to the Prehistory room of the MVCA at 4:30 p.m. and a guided tour of the historic center at 7:00 p.m. from the Plaza del Coso Viejo. On Sunday, November 17, it will be time for a specialized guided tour of the Dolmens of Antequera Archaeological Complex (12:00 p.m.) and a flashmob of the Flamenco School of Ana Pastrana (Plaza del Coso Viejo, 12:00 p.m.).
