The situation of deterioration and degradation in which this environment of the Barrio de la Villa and the Walls of the Castle was found, motivated the realization of the present intervention on the remains of the southern section of the medieval Wall; always combining archaeological research with attempts to restore and consolidate existing wall structures. On the other hand, the particular geological-geotechnical problems of the area, related to phenomena associated with the situation of instability presented by the edge of the slope where the action is located, and which caused permanent damage to said structures, precipitated the need to act against to the risk of landslides that existed and that could have affected not only the conservation of heritage but also the houses that sit on this highly degraded edge of the Villa (houses on Ana de la Rosa and Tinte streets) The actions carried out involve the consolidation and recovery of the Wall in the section that runs parallel to Ana de la Rosa street, as well as the structural consolidation of the slope that descends towards the back of Tinte street.
