Summer 2024 Guided evening tours of Lorca castle
Enjoy the impregnable medieval Fortress of the Sun in the cool evening air of Lorca
During the heat of summer arguably the best time of day to visit the monuments and sights of Lorca is after sundown, when the fresh air brings out the atmosphere of history, and at Lorca castle, which stood firm throughout its turbulent times as a frontier castle between Christian Spain and the Moors in Andalucía, special evening opening hours are in place during July and August.
The evening visits begin at 21.15 and last until 22.30 and include entry to the walled area and guided tours of the Torre del Espolón tower and the Aljibe Grande, the main water deposit which was used to guarantee supplies during times of siege. The route then follows the covered corridor and the northern wall to the Muralla del Espaldón before returning to the main courtyard.
These visits are being held on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays in July and on Thursdays and Saturdays in August, with pricing as follows:
Adults and over-16s: 12.50 euros.
Students, 12-to 16-year-olds, pensioners, large families, holders of the Lorca y Tú card: 10.50 euros.
Children aged 5 to 12: 8.50 euros.
Under-5s: no charge.
Online bookings can be made here.
When visiting Lorca one of your first ports of call should be the tourist office in Plaza de España (telephone 968 441914, email lorcaturismo@lorca.es).
