| Sumario: | [EN] The Valencian Community is a privileged territory in terms of castles due to the historical development of Spain, first as part of al-Andalus, and then as part of the crowns of Aragon and Castile. For instance, the province of Alicante has “only” 47 fortifications of municipal property. Many of them date from the Muslim occupation or emerged as part of the southeast border’s defence of the Crown of Aragon against the Crown of Castile. On the other hand, many of these fortifications have been studied from an archaeological, architectural, historical and management point of view. This paper analyses the management of Castalla Castle and Tibi Castle, located in the north of the province of Alicante. These municipal castles are Muslim and take part of the southeast border’s defence of the Crown of Aragon. They also have different management degrees. Although Castalla Castle was abandoned during the eighties of the twentieth century, it became a professionally managed fortification in the second decade of the twenty-first century. For its part, Tibi Castle is an unmanaged fortification whose situation is beginning to be reversed thanks to the elaboration of a master plan –now completed– pending approval by the city council. |
