Jousting is a medieval sport in which two knights on horseback charge at each other with long lances, attempting to knock their opponent off their horse. The jousting arena, also known as the tiltyard, was a specialized space designed specifically for jousting tournaments.
In the Middle Ages, jousting was a popular pastime among the nobility, and tournaments were held throughout Europe. The jousting arena was typically set up as a long, narrow strip of land with a fence or barrier down the center to separate the two knights. Spectators would line up along the sides of the arena to watch the tournament.
Jousting tournaments often included a variety of events in addition to the joust itself, such as melee combat (hand-to-hand combat with swords), archery, and other competitions. These events were held in different areas of the tiltyard, with different sections of the arena designated for each event.
Today, jousting is primarily performed as a demonstration or reenactment of medieval life, and jousting arenas can be found at historical reenactment events or Renaissance fairs. Modern jousting competitions often use padded lances and specialized equipment to ensure the safety of the participants.
