The \u201cCastle on the Rock\u201d initiative ensures that the fortress is maintained not only as a historical landmark but also as a living cultural space. Restoration projects use sustainable techniques, preserving authenticity while minimising environmental impact. The castle hosts exhibitions, workshops, and cultural events that immerse visitors in local history while promoting eco-conscious practices. By involving artisans and local communities, the initiative reinforces the role of heritage as both an economic and cultural resource. Visitors experience more than architecture\u2014they encounter stories of resilience and innovation that connect past and present. The castle stands as a beacon of how heritage sites can thrive when preservation and sustainability are intertwined.
