Santa Bárbara Castle wall restoration

Overview

The Alicante City Council and the Hortensia Herrero Foundation have entered into an agreement to restore the Poniente Wall of the Santa Bárbara Castle. The project involves a 2.4 million euro investment to rehabilitate approximately 470 meters of the historic structure, which contains sections dating from the 11th and 13th centuries.

Executed by the architecture firm ERRE, the one-year project will focus on cleaning, masonry repair, and structural reinforcement. The intervention is intended to reopen a castle access point that has been closed to the public for 25 years and will include the installation of monumental lighting and multimedia information panels. This initiative marks the Hortensia Herrero Foundation’s first restoration project of this kind outside of Valencia.
