Museum's Role in Conservation
The Museo Histórico Municipal de San Fernando has played a significant role in the conservation of the Castle of San Romualdo, a 13th-century monument. The castle has been undergoing renovations since the 1990s. In 1991, during a trench dug by Telefónica around the castle, numerous archaeological remains were discovered. The museum led this excavation and was responsible for preserving the found vestiges, further contributing to the preservation of the region's historical heritage.
