The Community will invest in the recovery of the Mula castle a total of 590,000 euros in the period 2017-2019, which "reaffirms the commitment of the regional government with the enhancement of the castle of Mula."

The Minister of Tourism and Culture, Miriam Guardiola, supervised today along with the architect responsible for the works, Isabel Betsué, the emergency actions that are taking place in the castle of Mula, aimed at consolidating the wall in the stretch of the albacara of this emblematic construction of the 16th century, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.

The head of Culture recalled that "the regional government is the only administration that has invested in the recovery of the castle", has also funded the Master Plan, which has prioritized the actions that are essential due to the risk situation involved for the wall, leaving for later the rest of the actions.

The Master Plan of the Mula castle is the essential tool for any future action of conservation and enhancement of this Renaissance monument of great value and importance within the fortifications of the national territory.
