About the Project
Berja and its surroundings are closely linked to a mining history that brought wealth and prosperity to this municipality. Tunnels, towers, conduits, vehicles and even minerals and rocks related to mining activity serve as inspiration for a unique project, a great landmark for Berja that reflects its identity and attracts new visitors to the town. In addition, the round arch is used as a link throughout the project to reinforce the identity of the space and even link us to the Phoenician and Roman past that gave rise to the municipality.
