Territorio Mudéjar participates in the event ‘Landscapes and sites. Participate to coexist’, framed in the technical conferences of the Alliance of Cultural Landscapes and Related World Heritage Sites, which began today in A Coruña.
The event is organised by the Tower of Hercules and the Alliance of World Heritage Landscapes and Sites, with the support of the City Council of A Coruña and the Tourism and Congress Consortium, the Ministry of Culture and Sport and the Provincial Council of A Coruña. The event will address the role of society in the conservation of World Heritage landscapes and sites, inviting reflection on the participation of institutions, communities and associations to protect and enhance these places.
Specifically, we will talk about the monument in the landscape: historical and artistic heritage, architectural heritage, heritage of the building trades. As well as intangible heritage and landscape as a builder of the concept of heritage.
We started with the presentation of Moisés Jorge Naranjo, manager of the A Coruña tourism consortium; Alicia Castillo, ICOMOS Spain and UCM; Pablo Jiménez Díaz, UNESCO convention and Ministry of Culture; Antoni Fuster, Consell de Mallorca; and Maral Kekejian, from the office of culture for the Spanish presidency of the Council of Europe 2023.
We have continued with the presentation of María Del Pozo, from the Consortium of Aranjuez World Heritage and secretary general of the Cultural Landscapes and Related Sites Alliance. And the presentations by Miriam Ugarte from the Ministry of Culture, Alicia Castillo, Iría Caamaño (University of Coruña), Xavier Simón (University of Vigo). And a round table moderated by Xosé Allegue (architect of the Consortium Santiago de Compostela World Heritage City) with the speakers: Manuel Rodríguez Lopez (Fundación Ría), Cristina García Fontán (UDC) and Xavier Simón Fernández (CISPAC).
We also took advantage of the day to visit the Tower of Hercules, the oldest lighthouse in the world in use with a fundamental link to the landscape.
