The Castle of Alhama already shines without the emblematic graphic that has accompanied it since 2010.
This iconic element of our municipality was placed on December 14 of that year with the aim of undertaking the IV phase of its restoration.
Given the dimensions and orography of the terrain, it had to be a special high-capacity Russian-made Kamov model helicopter, with two propellers and designed to lift up to 5,000 kilos, who undertook the transfer of the parts.
for assembly.
It was precisely two pilots from Russia who carried out the operation with the help of the engineers. Disassembly has been much easier and has not required special machinery.
The company DESMONGR A SA has taken charge of this this Sunday, removing the boom, counterweights, cart, platform, tower and base with light pulleys.
The pieces are provisionally located in municipal warehouses to decide whether the City Council acquires them as property or is returned to their company of origin with the aim of giving it a new urban use in another municipality. Now, waiting for the completion of the Castle to begin in the coming months, after the granting of 1.5% Cultural from the Ministry of Development, this symbol of Alhama and the sky that surrounds him they are clear without his old friend 'la gr a'. This last phase, with a budget of 1.6 million euros, will involve the rehabilitation of the lower enclosure for public use through guided tours, in addition to lighting the complex and the installation of a hotel business (bar) to make the area more attractive and give it 'life'.
