What is Basilisc of Mataró?
Basilisc of Mataró is a mythological fire figure from Mataró’s popular culture. It is inspired by the basilisk, a legendary creature traditionally depicted with characteristics of a serpent and a rooster.
In different legends, the birth of the basilisk has been associated with an extraordinary egg and various fantastic animals. This imagery is reflected in the Mataró figure, whose appearance combines elements of a rooster and a serpent.
Basilisc of Mataró measures approximately 3.10 metres high and 3 metres long. It is carried by one person and has 10 fire points distributed across its mouth, wings and tail.
One of its notable appearances is at L’Encesa de Mataró, a fire event held before Les Santes de Mataró.
