Operació Tecla

Operation Tecla is a story of power, where reality and fiction mix to explain a maneuver cooked over a slow fire for centuries that takes root in a society, a territory, an ecclesiastical province and a kingdom. At the beginning of the Middle Ages, the elites created a story about the biography of the mythical character of Saint Tecla that was used to legitimize the archbishopric of Tarragona. The culmination of this strategy devised and executed by the authorities is in the 14th century, when the relic of the saint's arm arrives from the East, which is received by the people of Tarragona with great celebrations. Festive events that, once regulated, the town has been repeating with some ups and downs for almost 700 years. The life of Tecla, the construction of the cathedral, the medieval city, the intrigues of archbishops, kings and popes, wars and festivals... You will find this and more in Operation Tecla.
