Events calendar Castelsardo

Religious ceremonies are held throughout Holy Week in Castelsardo, but the most important one takes place on the last day, Easter Monday (Lunissanti). A long procession leaves from the fortified citadel to the nearby village of Tergu. Men dressed in white robes sing ancient hymns along the way. The pilgrimage covers 10 km to the ancient church of Nostra Signora, built around 1300. The return journey is made by the light of candles and oil lamps, in a very moving religious fervor.
