Good most precious cultural interest that currently has the city will be rehabilitated (in part): the council is committed Secretary of State for Infrastructure, Transport and Housing, Rafael Catalá Polo, that grant funds will be used known as 1% Cultural actions to improve the castle.

The mayor, Ana Kringe, met yesterday with Catalá in Madrid, where she guaranteed that the projects presented by Dénia will be included in the 2014 grants, which will be announced in March.

The City Council has already commissioned the drafting technicians from the General Directorate of Artistic Heritage of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, which will focus on the restoration of the staircase and access to the Palau del Duc de Lerma (Century XVII) and the restoration of the Torre del Mig, principal element architecture of Al-Andalus time preserved in Dénia and the adequacy of the Verger Alt environment.

Precisely hours before this information was known, the socialist councilors Óscar Mengual and Vicent Grimalt regretted that there was no news about whether this subsidy was requested as they have been demanding for months and the need to "provide the main monument of the city with a master plan that values the venue and the events it may host."
