Abstract

[EN] Action on the monumental architectural heritage implies the formation of multidisciplinary teams whose mission is its preservation and enhancement for its enjoyment in the present and inheritance of the future. Thanks to this work it is possible to undertake the complex tasks of rehabilitation and restoration of fortified monuments, maintaining their original essence in aesthetics and architecture, always providing information that allows us to recognize their memory and the identity they had in past times. Public administrations, associations, foundations, or councils can access different public subsidies in order to preserve the Heritage Property and ensure that the surrounding environment values it to finally protect it by considering it their own. This kind of works are sustainable due to the rehabilitation of these castles and defensive monuments, since the obtaining of benefits is reflected in their enhancement, in their recognition by the society that inhabits that territory, in their cultural promotion and their dissemination as a high-level tourist product. The commitment to Heritage that is a guarantee of success when there is a prior study and awareness of the need for intervention. There are very numerous assets on which to act and the choice must be determined for logistical reasons, applying the recommendations and instructions entrusted by international organizations such as UNESCO or the Council of Europe. Using value judgments about the history of the place or the landscape it forms, supervised by expert technicians in each subject, we will guarantee that the future of each intervention is an example of how to act, demonstrating that, seeking excellence, resources are allocated to the best proposals. We show, as examples, a selection of projects that are successfully completed in Spain, or are in development, carried out through agreements with public entities or through competitions to obtain economic funds, and that include a series of defensive structures of different chronological moments.
