The European project MOMAr (Models of Management for Singular Rural Heritage) led by the DPZ and in which we are a stakeholder has reached its goal with the last study visit.

It has done so after four years of work, with a meeting in the province of Zaragoza that has brought together more than 60 experts in the field of heritage management and political representatives from five participating countries (Spain, Romania, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Germany), as well as a large group of public and private entities from the province of Zaragoza that have been an active part of the project.

MOMAr has served to promote the exchange of good practices in heritage management in rural areas of the five partner countries, as well as the implementation of new management models in each of the participating territories.

Territorio Mudéjar has been an active part of this project, which has allowed us to expose our good practices in Europe, to meet very interesting initiatives and to participate in international projects.

The final MOMAr conference has given the opportunity to explore the challenges of managing cultural and natural heritage in rural areas and to discover how partners have successfully implemented different projects and strategies in response to the singularities of these territories.

At this meeting, the manual of good practices was presented and visits were made to the industrial salt heritage of the village of Remolinos, the Uncastillo Foundation, the ceramics workshop school in Muel, Fuendetodos – with the house where Goya was born and the museum of engravings – and Los Bañales.

It has been a pleasure to share this learning journey with all of you. The project ends, but we continue to stay in touch as allies.
