Huesca celebrates its most important annual festival in August: the festival
(or fiesta) of San Lorenzo (Lawrence), a native of Huesca martyred in
268 AD. The anniversary of his martyrdom falls on August 10. The fiesta
starts on the 9th and finishes on the 15th. Many of the inhabitants dress
in green and white for the duration of the fiesta.
San Lorenzo, born in Huesca, was bishop of Rome and martyred by the Romans, burned on a grille (at least according to legend). Hence the grille is the symbol of San Lorenzo and it can be seen in a number of decorative works in the city. Huesca is also the birthplace of film director Carlos Saura and his brother Antonio Saura, contemporary artist. There is an international film festival held annually in the city. The celebrated illustrator Isidro Ferrer, though born in Madrid, lives in the city.
