Christmas is the most endearing celebration of the calendar and for this reason Cartagena Puerto de Culturas has prepared a program based on a time travel to discover how the gods, mythology, a Roman family or Emperor Augustus himself celebrated this period of the year , which coincided with the end of the harvests and the winter solstice.
Thus, during the three scheduled activities for the family audience, the differences and similarities of our Christmas with the festivities that Roman families lived will be announced.
These activities have limited capacity.
“CHRISTMAS STORY: THE 3 WIZARD GODS”

“THE GODDESS FORTUNA COMES HOME FOR CHRISTMAS”
