The Experience: A trip to Palestine from the castle

Brunyola's nativity scene avoids being just a representation and seeks emotion ("One more piece of your Christmas"). More than 1,000 extras have passed through it throughout its history. The show uses period costumes to recreate Palestine 2,000 years ago. and several key points:

• The Bell Angel: One of Brunyola's most distinctive signs is the scene of the Annunciation, where an Angel welcomes the public from the top of the bell tower.
• Letters to the Kings: If you are going there as a family, know that the Kings of the East will be present and will be happy to collect the children's letters.
• The Real Child: In the Nativity scene, the figure of the Child Jesus is always represented by a baby from the town of Brunyola itself.
