• The delegate of the Government and the mayor of Mula have inaugurated the restoration works of the Hermitage of the Puebla de Mula, in which the Ministry of Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge has invested more than 200,000 euros

• The city council has contributed 51,640 euros to complete a global investment of 255,000 euros

• Thirteen regional councils have received more than 1.5 million euros in total through this call for the financing of projects promoted by local entities for territorial innovation and the reactivation of socioeconomic activity

April 8, 2025. The Government delegate has inaugurated this morning the restoration works of the Torre-Ermita de la Puebla de Mula, in which 255,000 euros have been invested thanks to a grant granted by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge to the city of Mula.

“This is another example of the Government’s commitment in the fight for territorial transformation and the fight against depopulation through a call in which there were more than 1,000 applications throughout Spain, among which 380 projects were chosen, thirteen of them from municipalities in the Region of Murcia, which in total have received more than 1.5 million euros to execute projects of this nature,” said Mariola Guevara.

Of these 255,000 euros, the city council itself has contributed 51,640 to complete an action that, according to the mayor of Mula, Juan Jesús Moreno, comes to influence the policy of conservation of the Historical Heritage and actions in the districts of the municipality in order to avoid depopulation

Thanks to this call for grants for the financing of projects promoted by local entities for territorial innovation and the revival of socio-economic activity and the fight against depopulation, a monument declared BIC and dating from the 14th century has been recovered.

The Torre-Ermita is located in the urban center of this hamlet, today called the Puebla de Mula, created by the Fajardo under the protection of the fortification or castle of the same name.

It is a cubic tower of about eleven meters of side that currently appears flanked by houses, although it seems that at its origin it was an exempt construction. The current access consists of a half-point arch with brick dovelas, with jambs made with large sillares and limestone.
