Remodeling of the Cervera Museum

The works at the reception of the Regional Museum of Cervera, which were inaugurated on Wednesday 18 September, they started last January.
They represent progress in the implementation of the first of the key objectives of the Strategic Plan 2022-2025 of the Cervera Museum: reinforce the main message, the Duran and Sanpere House.
The works have had the support of the Leader program of Central Catalonia and the General Directorate of Heritage of the Generalitat of Catalonia.

With the rehabilitation of the entrance hall, it is possible to realize a specific action of the first strategic objective of the Cervera Museum: create a new space for reception and visitor attention, more open, accessible and visible from the street. Conceived as a welcoming space, for the Museum and for tourism in Cervera, the new space, more diaphanous and luminous, aims to overcome the previous darkness that did not help either to locate the equipment or to perceive it as an open and welcoming space.
This way, progress is being made in consolidating the Museum's presence on Carrer Major de Cervera with the desire to go out and be more present there.

The party has renewed its convening power after the pandemic and in the words of the head priest of Cervera, Jan Pomés, "we had more people than ever before, since the beginning of the week and, especially, Friday and Saturday nights. The city has been full and we demonstrate the capacity of attraction from the Terres de Ponent with audiences from all over the country". Pomés also highlighted the "great involvement of the group of entities and the residents of Cervera with the party, who have been involved so that the Aquelarre has been a real success".

The most infernal night of the Aquelarre began on Saturday at 11 of the night with the lighting of the University with the square full to the brim and the fire parade with the participation of the Ball of Devils of Vilanova i la Geltrú. Already in Cal Racó, the Ball de Diables de Cervera Carranquers took over, that accompanied the appearance of the Male Goat until he met Lilit, the goddess who fled from Adam making the transit from heaven to hell. The most awaited moment coincided with a third act in which the Male Cabró was the protagonist of the run completed with the final Foqueral.
