ROMAN TOWN RE-CREATED IN PUERTO DE MAZARRÓN - 19-21 AUGUST

From 19 to 21 August from 7pm-1am , Explanada de La Isla will become a Roman town with numerous activities and leisure to disclose the historical knowledge of Roman and Phoenician times, just a few metres from where the oldest submerged Phoenician ship is found to date in the world. 

Precisely, a replica of a Roman ship will be one of the attractions of this I Phoenician-Roman Festival of Mazarrón organized by the Municipality and Antikorum

The 3 day event  is the first of its kind and has Mazarrón as a starting point for a national tour. In a space of 14,000 square metres, "Portum Vita" recreates a Roman town with Phoenician presence and stimulating shopping streets with craft shops, a restaurant from Roman times and a children's area with educational workshops and small attractions. 

Also, installed will be a Roman ship of 20 metres in length around which an interpretation centre of Roman and Phoenician times can be found.


Councillor for Culture, Pedro Martinez, commented this is an important commitment that extends the range of leisure that the City has prepared during these Summer months to Mazarron residents and visitors.
