The interventions focused on the restoration of the Santa Bárbara hermitage, the recovery of the stonemason's shelter number 1 at La Pedrera, and the drafting of the Special Protection Plan for the Xinosa archaeological site. These actions contribute to preserving fundamental elements of Monóvar's history and identity.
The restoration of the Santa Bárbara hermitage included work on the roofs of the small porch and the hermit's house, repair of the access stairs, and restoration of the exterior facade. The project involved an investment of 208,362 euros, with 70% financed by the Generalitat Valenciana.
The stonemason's shelter number 1 at La Pedrera, a traditional construction linked to extractive trades, has been restored. The project, with a budget of 10,091.40 euros, received a 70% subsidy from the Generalitat Valenciana. During the work, elements of heritage interest and engraved dates from 1879 and 1895 were identified.
The drafting of the Special Protection Plan for the Xinosa archaeological site, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, has been completed and is currently undergoing processing. The plan establishes the framework for protecting the site and organizing its uses. The action received a subsidy of 12,662.65 euros from the Plan Restaura.
With these initiatives, the Monóvar City Council continues its strategy of conserving and enhancing its heritage. The support from the Plan Restaura has been crucial in making these projects possible, combining direct intervention with strategic planning.
