Restoration of the Pinondo cross and the sculpture of Pablo Pedro Astarloa in Durango.

The Durango City Council has finished the restoration work on the Pinondo Cross and the sculpture of Pablo Pedro Astarloa, both of which showed signs of deterioration due to time and environmental factors.

These two elements, listed as protected in the municipal subsidiary regulations, exhibited accumulated dirt and damage. The Pinondo Cross, a stone piece dating back to the 16th century, specifically required restoration due to biological colonization and the presence of pollutants.
The project involved an investment of 8,457 euros. The restoration was conducted in accordance with the technical standards set by the Basque Cultural Heritage Law and the Spanish Historical Heritage Law, ensuring a careful and appropriate intervention.

"These works, completed within two weeks, reflect the municipal commitment to preserving cultural heritage."
