On the first Sunday of July, in honour of Margaret of Austria, an appealing palio is held in Castel Madama.
The populace are dressed in sixteenth-century costume and a horse riding competition, the "Giostra del Saracino" and a flags race take place.
This Palio Madama Margarita- carousel of the Saracen is performed to commemorate the passage of the sovereign, simply called "Madam", through the town.
