Manilva seeks funding for archaeological school

Written by 

Manilva’s local authorities have applied to the Provincial office of the Andalucian Employment Service for funding to create an archaeological school, with the objective of enhancing Manilva’s rich archaeological heritage whilst at the same time providing training for local people.

The application was presented by the Mayoress, the councillor for local development, Diego Diaz, the director of the Manilva development foundation FUNMADES, José Carlos Castaños, and the director of the wine school, Albert Asunción, at a recent meeting with the Provincial Development Delegate, Susana Radío.
The application seeks some 1,745,079 euros which would go towards the creating of an archaeological park incorporating the various Roman sites in Castillo, including the bathhouse, Roman villa and the fish processing installation. There would be a visitor centre and information boards, etc. The park would also integrate the Castle and would serve as a huge asset to Manilva’s tourism and cultural infrastructure.
The workshop would offer two year courses to some 60 students, with priority going to the young, the unemployed, and the disadvantaged.
