Description

The cohabitation of the Christian, Jewish and Islamic cultures during the Middle Ages in the Iberian Peninsula, created a rich cultural heritage, unique in Europe. Fortunately most of it survived, in the most varied expressions (architecture, sculpture, painting, lesser arts, music, codicological sources, etc.). One of today's challenges is to offer an adequate implementation of the valuation, conservation and restoration of this heritage, based on rigorous scientific and technical research.

This session aims to showcase, explain, value and spread the current management of the medieval heritage and the use of new technologies and methods for its research and restoration, as well as discussing the heritage laws that rule and care for the intervention projects in Spain and all of Europe.
