Overview
- Works are underway following a public presentation on November 14 confirming the recovery of the house, gardens and the rare galería de burlas for reopening in 2027.
- Funding totals nearly €11 million, with close to €1 million from the Ayuntamiento and €10 million from Next Generation EU programs.
- The landscape plan recreates a Renaissance garden of more than 10,000 m² with about 25,000 plants, including 155 new trees, 120 roses and over 700 shrubs.
- Excavations have uncovered 16th‑century wall bases, floors from the 16th–18th centuries, Mudejar tiles, capitals, a 16th‑century column, original beams, lost stair structures and chimney remains.
- The intervention conserves remains in situ, restores historical hydraulics and the galería de burlas for guided visits, and uses lightweight wooden structures to restitute volumes, with the ground floor set as an archaeological route and a target reopening tied to the 500th anniversary of Felipe II.
