In 2008, the "Proyecto Urban" was initiated for the regeneration of Almería's Historic Center. This plan involved actions on the Caves of the former Mesón Gitano and regeneration of the Alcazaba surroundings, along with the construction of a new community center and the extension of Fernández street.
However, in 2014, archaeological work preceding the renovation revealed a significant find for the city. Beneath the remains of the Mesón Gitano, a series of houses in good archaeological condition were uncovered. The decision was made to preserve the site for public enjoyment.
This archaeological site, known as the Barrio Andalusí, will be presented this Friday at 5:30 PM in the Heritage Classroom, organized by the Secretariat of Culture of the University of Almería (UAL) in collaboration with the Almería City Council.
