Colla Castellera d’Edinburgh – Human Tower display
We are the Colla Castellera d’Edinburgh and we build castells, aka human towers!
Castells is a Catalan tradition, declared Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2010 by UNESCO. This tradition consists in building different human towers as people climb on top of each other; the wider the base gets, the higher the castell reaches.
