Juan Manuel Rojas, archaeologist in charge of the latest excavation campaigns at Guarrazar (Guadamur, Toledo), will present at the MAN the recent developments at the site, where the famous Visigothic Treasure was found and is on display in room 23 of the Museum.
This conference will give an overview of the objectives with which the project Guarrazar: Archaeology and new resources was born in 2012, and how it has developed until 2015. As the title says, in the two years and four months that have passed since the first excavations began, not only have there been a series of interesting archaeological discoveries, which point to the existence of a monastic-palace complex from the Visigothic period, but also spaces of environmental interest are being recovered and a programme of dissemination of the rich heritage of Guarrazar has been launched. This programme consists of opening the site to the public by means of guided tours, educational activities, cultural events, etc., through which it is intended to make the Project sustainable.
