Ubicado en la zona m\u00e1s alta del cerro, debi\u00f3 conformar el centro de poder rector de la ciudad medieval, albergando las construcciones m\u00e1s significativas. La segunda \u00e1rea de inter\u00e9s se corresponde con un conjunto de estructuras ubicadas en la vertiente nororiental del cerro que, presumiblemente, conformaban una de las puertas de acceso. En esta misma vertiente, bajo la muralla, se localiza el tercer sector de trabajo, coincidente con diversas estructuras tanto de car\u00e1cter dom\u00e9stico como artesanal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Las restantes zonas que ser\u00e1n objeto de excavaciones arqueol\u00f3gicas se corresponden con viviendas ocupadas hasta el momento del terremoto, lo que permitir\u00e1 conocer mejor c\u00f3mo era la vida de los habitantes de la Vera del siglo XVI y qu\u00e9 aspecto ten\u00edan sus casas. En este sentido, se tiene previsto realizar intervenciones en las laderas norte y este del yacimiento, e incluir dos zonas de trabajo m\u00e1s, en el \u00e1rea m\u00e1s pr\u00f3xima a la actual carretera. Por \u00faltimo, en las proximidades de la ermita-aljibe, se pretende recuperar un tramo de muralla oculto por los derrumbes de la ladera.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Todas estas intervenciones se ver\u00e1n acompa\u00f1adas de la consiguiente consolidaci\u00f3n de las estructuras con criterios cient\u00edficos y t\u00e9cnicos.

This has justified the development of a long-term project aimed at systematically addressing the archaeological site. The project integrates historical and archaeological research, physical and administrative protection of the site, the consolidation of exposed structures, and the social and scientific dissemination of the results, with the ultimate goal of reclaiming a once-forgotten space for the community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Through a research agreement between the Vera Town Council (Almer\u00eda), the project&#8217;s promoter, and the University of Granada, the project is currently being carried out by the PRINMA research group (HUM-1035). The scientific directors are Mois\u00e9s Alonso Valladares and Alberto Garc\u00eda Porras.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_239\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-239\" style=\"width: 493px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-239\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ugr.es\/prinma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2023\/11\/IMG_9719-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"493\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ugr.es\/prinma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2023\/11\/IMG_9719-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ugr.es\/prinma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2023\/11\/IMG_9719-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blogs.ugr.es\/prinma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2023\/11\/IMG_9719.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-239\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #999999\">Part of the Bayra archaeological team<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In total, excavations are planned in eight archaeological areas distributed throughout the site. The first corresponds to the alc\u00e1zar, located at the highest point of the hill, which likely served as the administrative center of medieval Bayra and housed its most important buildings. The second area of interest includes a group of structures located on the northeastern slope, presumably forming one of the city gates. On this same slope, beneath the city wall, lies the third sector of intervention, where various domestic and craft-related structures have been identified.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The remaining areas to be excavated correspond to residential buildings that were occupied until the earthquake struck, allowing researchers to gain a better understanding of daily life in 16th-century Vera and the appearance of its houses. Planned excavations will focus on the northern and eastern slopes of the site and include two additional areas closer to the current road. Finally, near the hermitage-cistern, a section of the city wall buried by landslides will be excavated and restored.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">All these interventions will be accompanied by the scientific and technical consolidation of the uncovered structures. At the same time, a public outreach program has been launched, including guided tours, educational workshops, lectures, and exhibitions to disseminate the project&#8217;s findings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.juntadeandalucia.es\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-files\/2023\/10\/Bayra%20web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(Text by M.
