The Spanish State has confirmed that the Tossa de Mar city walls are its property, a key administrative step allowing the Ministry of Culture to start urgent consolidation works.

After months of institutional deadlock, the heritage situation of Tossa de Mar's Vila Vella is finally being resolved. The confirmation that the monument belongs to the Ministry of Culture enables the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute to act on the most degraded areas.

"The Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute has already committed to intervening in the most urgent points."

Until now, uncertainty over ownership prevented Tossa de Mar Council from investing its own resources or applying for grants. This delay had caused local concern due to recent stone falls and structural issues worsened by heavy rains.
A preliminary study estimates that the most urgent repairs, including slope consolidation, will cost approximately one million euros.
