The restoration of the Castle of Buitrago del Lozoya, one of the most significant fortified complexes in the Madrid region, focused on structural consolidation, preventive conservation, and the architectural recovery of key elements, in preparation for its future adaptation as a museum. Interventions included the restoration of curtain walls, towers, and masonry and ashlar structures, along with the protection of parapets and vulnerable areas, guided by archaeological and building pathology studies to ensure a respectful approach aligned with the site's historical and constructive evolution.
Carried out by a multidisciplinary technical team, the intervention halted the monument’s progressive deterioration and established the technical and functional foundations for its cultural reuse. Discreet structural reinforcements, drainage improvements, and accessibility upgrades were integrated while preserving the archaeological legibility of the castle’s various historical phases. This initial consolidation phase marks a key milestone in the site's comprehensive rehabilitation, ensuring its long-term preservation and future use as a museum dedicated to the region’s medieval heritage
