What is the Àliga of Mataró?

The Àliga of Mataró is a historic figure of the city’s institutional procession and one of the figures associated with Les Santes de Mataró, the city’s Festa Major.

Documentary references to the Àliga date back to 1601. The present-day figure was recovered in 1987 through an initiative involving people connected to the Giants of Mataró and the City Council.

The Àliga has a solemn appearance, with partially spread wings, a crown and a dove in its beak. During the institutional procession, it occupies a prominent position behind the Família Robafaves and ahead of the authorities.
