El Misterio de Sorbaces
El Misterio de Sorbaces is set in the year 589, when the ruins of the Roman Empire were still smouldering. In a remote village, a forbidden wedding is secretly celebrated. The show lasts 30 minutes.
The story
Two peoples live side by side, but not together. A young Roman girl secretly marries a Gothic prince, in the presence of the holy relic. King Recaredo finds out and marches out to plunder the village. Then heaven intervenes.
The background
In 1858, Francisco Morales from Guadamur found the most important treasure of the Visigothic kings known to date, close to this spot. On the land of the Guarrazar orchard lay gold crowns with pearls and sapphires, among the remains of a royal basilica: Santa María de Sorbaces. Why these crowns lay here is still a mystery. According to stories passed down from father to son, a great miracle happened here.
