The Minister of Culture for the Generalitat de Catalunya, Sònia Hernández, visited Cardona on Friday to hold an institutional meeting and gain insights into the key challenges facing the conservation of the town's historical and cultural heritage.
The visit commenced at the Cardona Town Hall, where Hernández was welcomed by the mayor, Lluïsa Aliste, and members of the municipal corporation. Following her signing of the Honour Book, a working meeting took place, focusing on the conservation of the historic core, the management and tourism promotion of the town, and the needs of key heritage sites, particularly Cardona Castle and the Cultural Park of the Salt Mountain.
Attendees included representatives from both administrations, such as Joaquim Borràs, the Director General of Cultural Heritage, Xavier Cano, the Director of Territorial Cultural Services in Central Catalonia, and Salvador Campos, the town's Culture Councillor.
The day continued with a tour of Cardona Castle and its adjacent bastions, allowing Hernández to assess the conservation status of the monumental complex and its maintenance and preservation needs.
This visit is part of the ongoing collaboration between the Cardona Town Hall and the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya regarding the conservation and management of the town's historical heritage.
