press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n“The local authorities have decided to transform the bastion into a place where history and contemporaneity meet in an interactive museum integrated into the tourist circuit, while also being an educational space for pupils, students, and more,\u201d the institution notes.<\/p>\n
The total value of the project is nearly EUR 2.5 million, and the implementation period is 33 months. The value of the non-reimbursable funding allocated from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is RON 10 million (EUR 2 million).\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rehabilitation project is unique in Bra\u0219ov, as the municipality does not have a similar cultural infrastructure capable of combining educational, exhibition, and entertainment functions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause the Drapers’ Bastion is an important landmark, its restoration is part of a broader urban regeneration process in which our monuments occupy a special place. As such, we will better integrate this space into the daily life of Bra\u0219ov residents and offer tourists a more attractive objective,\u201d declared Bra\u0219ov mayor George Scripcaru.<\/p>\n
The Drapers’ Bastion was underwent alterations and rehabilitation in 1521\u20131522, 1961\u20131962, and more recently, in 2008. However, since the last intervention, significant damage has occurred, mainly regarding the metal pavilion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Drapers’ Bastion is a public space with resonance in the collective consciousness of Bra\u0219ov residents, one of the symbols of the city,\u201d said Simion Cre\u021bu, General Director of the Central Regional Development Agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The project will include structural and architectural work with the corresponding equipment and fittings: consolidation of structural, architectural, or artistic elements; consolidation of masonry; reinforcement of the brick cornice; the historical exterior plasters will be preserved, restored, and conserved; restoration of the interior surfaces; restoration of archaeological vestiges (cistern and 16th-century building); revision of the guard walkway on the ground and third floors; replacement of the door carpentry, and others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The visiting space will also be arranged and equipped, with various installations and artistic fittings put into operation, and equipment will be purchased to contribute to both energy efficiency and the improvement of accessibility and visitor experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
