Elche has a special connection with the Medieval period of history as it is believed that the Misteri d’Elx Play originates from then. The Misteri d’Elx is a liturgical drama which commemorates the Assumption of Mary. It is performed by local men (women being forbidden to act during the middle ages) from Elche in the Basilica de Santa María on the 13th, 14th and 15th of August as part of the patron saint fiesta and during even number years there are extraordinary performances on the 25th, 26th and 27th October, at the end of the Medieval Fiesta. In 2001, UNESCO declared the play to be one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
