Alcalá de Henares puts in value its condition and legacy as a World Heritage City with a new edition of the Heritage Night, a special cultural event that this year will take place on Saturday September 13 and that will be held simultaneously in several cities of the country such as Cuenca, Avila or Segovia.
For the occasion, streets, courtyards, buildings and monuments of the city of Complutense will become the protagonists of guided tours, shows and free activities for all audiences with one goal: to introduce the city to those who are approaching it for the first time or those who are familiar with it to look at it in a different way.
Among the proposals are live music, dance, theater and openings such as the Cervantes Birthplace Museum, the Archaeological and Paleontological Museum, the Chapel of the Oidor, the Tower of Santa Maria, the Auditorium of the University of Alcala and the Student Hostelry, some with special guided tours.
