The Roman Market, part of the 16th Dies Oiassonis festival, has opened in Irun, featuring approximately 70 stalls. Mayor Cristina Laborda and Deputy Mayor Nuria Alzaga visited the market, which starts from Plaza Jenaro Etxeandia.
Until July 19, visitors can enjoy around fifty activities held in the city's streets, squares, and various spaces. These events aim to recreate ancient Oiasso through theater, music, gastronomy, crafts, and historical reenactments, offering something for all audiences.
“"The variety, the quantity of products, and the good atmosphere are the reasons that make this Roman Market one of the attractions of Dies Oiassonis. I want to thank the merchants for their work and their willingness to participate in these stalls."
Laborda emphasized that the festival is an ideal opportunity to highlight the city's history and heritage. "We once again confirm that Irun is a city of events, with this festival full of quality cultural and historical proposals," she stated.
The mayor took the opportunity to encourage both residents and visitors to come to Irun during these days to enjoy a Dies Oiassonis that gains new followers year after year.
The 16th edition of the Dies Oiassonis Roman Festival will offer an accessible, educational, and festive way to discover the archaeological heritage and history linked to ancient Oiasso, its port, thermal baths, necropolis, and mines. The city will transform into a major meeting point with Antiquity.
This edition holds special significance as it coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Oiasso Museum, a key reference for the conservation, research, and dissemination of Irun's Roman heritage.
