The Navata City Council has expressed its firm intention to acquire the 13th-century castle located in the municipality to guarantee its conservation and prevent the historic structure from further ruin.

The primary goal of this heritage operation is to halt the progressive decay of the fortification. The local government in Alt Empordà believes that public ownership is the best way to protect the monument and ensure its long-term structural integrity.
Beyond simple preservation, the Navata project seeks to enhance the cultural legacy of the area. Once the castle is under municipal ownership, plans include restoration work to highlight this historical asset for residents and visitors alike.
