Renewal of the Ancient Cloister of Palace-Castle of Betxí (Castellón), Spain

Abstract

After remaining more than 40 years closed, Betxí’s Palace-Castle needed an urgent restoration. This recovering has been possible thanks to the Master Plan, an agile management tool that lays down the intervention criteria and a series of independent and coordinated restoration stages for a flexible and gradual recovering process. This article shows the building’s historical evolution to understand the different values in each stage, the Master Plan intervention criteria, the definition of each intervention stage and the restorations carried out so far.
