"The drafting of the Special Plan to Protect the Historical Site of Monteagudo and Cabezo de Torres will end next month and will be subject to public exposure," said José Ballesta.
In addition to the old mill for the manufacture of paprika, there are two remains of Arab wall and a garden of municipal ownership of about 5,000 square meters.
The mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, accompanied by the councilman of Urbanism, Environment and Huerta, Antonio Navarro, visited today the Armero mill, a cataloged construction whose origins date back to the 17th century, which the City Council wants to recover, within the Special Plan Protection of Historic Site of Monteagudo and Cabezo de Torres, which will be ready and submitted to public exposure next month, "said José Ballesta.
We are studying different alternatives in this environment that is part of the historic site of Monteagudo, listed as a Property of Cultural Interest, which not only highlights the old mill for the manufacture of paprika, but also two remains of Arab wall and a garden owned Municipal area of ​​about 5,000 square meters.
The Armero mill, where the traditional paprika manufacturing process was carried out for centuries, is one of the last water mills that has been in operation (its activity ceased some 15 years ago).
It used the channel of the ace of Churra la Vieja to move its teeth and stands out for being a singular element and one of the most characteristic hydraulic constructions of the Huerta de Murcia.
Both the historical part of the mill and its functional part (the implements of the paprika manufacturing process, seals, account books and historical material are preserved) are owned by the Armero family.
In the first step to initiate the action would be the transfer of the remains to the City Hall, from where a rehabilitation and consolidation project would be carried out, based on archaeological and historical studies that will also include the whole complex, integrated by the garden Of municipal ownership and the remnants of Arab wall.
In this sense, it should be noted that one of the lines of action that govern the Plan of Action of the Huerta de Murcia is the recovery and conservation of the hydraulic heritage and the recovery of historic mills.
For this reason, in addition to this infrastructure that the mayor and the councilman have visited today in Cabezo de Torres, the City Council works on the drafting of the mill of Love, in Albatalia, Batan, Zarandona, and the Gunpowder.
