The initiative submitted by the city of Buitrago del Lozoya, in Madrid, proposes the reconstruction and recovery of a full block of its historic center, currently derelict. The area is composed by a number of buildings located between the castle and the church of Santa María del Castillo, flanked in turn by one of the better preserved sections of the city wall. These buildings will be transformed into municipally-owned tourist accommodations.
Buitrago del Lozoya is located 80 km to the north of Madrid, in the middle Lozoya valley within the Sierra Norte district, adjoining the provinces of Segovia and Guadalajara. Buitrago is the valley’s most populous town with more than 1950 inhabitants.
The town of Buitrago stands on a site bounded by a sharp meander of the river Lozoya, between the dams of Riosequillo and Puentes Viejas. It holds a strategic position on the route to the Somosierra pass, the only easy passage through this part of the Sistema Central range.
In 1993 the town was designated a Historic and Artistic Ensemble and a Cultural Heritage Site on account of its walled complex, the best preserved of its kind in the Madrid region.
