Pellicer has indicated that “with the daily opening and with the guided visits we intend to continue bringing our historical heritage and, with it, our roots for both residents and visitors; an objective that was in the essence of the project of excavation, recovery and musealization of Tossal ”.

The councillor highlighted that “the figures of people who have visited the site since its opening in early August show that the historical heritage arouses the interest of the public, interested in knowing what the‘ castellum ’was like and how it worked; information that appears collected in the panels installed in the enclosure as well as in the audio guide hosted on the municipal website and which can be easily accessed with a ‘smartphone’ through a QR code ”.
