Proiectul nostru – Capitala Daciei

OUR PROJECT

WE give life to the capital of Dacia

An essential mission. Carried out with care and a lot of enthusiasm. We restore and revitalize the Fortress of Sarmizegetusa, the most important religious, political, and military center of the Dacian Kingdom, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Four determined work teams – the project promoter – the efficient engine that makes everything work, the two partners with practical knowledge and a competent team of archaeologists – join forces, wisdom and experience in a harmonious symbiosis to give a new look to Sarmizegetusa, closer to the ancient reality and, at the same time, more accessible to the general public who will be visiting one of the most important sites of European antiquity.

First

we invest

resources in the restoration

of the monument.

Then we value it through a concrete and dynamic plan, oriented towards the public.

During this time, we are trained and guided in every aspect by international professionals in the field.

We devote time and invest sustained effort in project management, a key component in the success of the project.

OUR "WHY"

We have a duty to protect the monument.

The current state of the monument is precarious. The deterioration processes are caused by natural and anthropogenic factors. The deterioration of a cultural heritage causes a loss in our cultural memory and identity. “But there is more to it than just that. The monuments presented here are part of the world's cultural heritage. And we assume responsibility for this phenomenon.

The danger of the pressure coming from the real estate investment and uncontrolled developments:

The sustainable development of the area must be built responsibly and must balance the existing resources, economic exploitation and the ability for future generations to dispose them. The legislation has numerous gaps in the protection of historical and archaeological heritage: the monument is not adequately protected.

Legislation with gaps and lack of a common vision for the built heritage: we involve communities and territorial administrations

The system of protecting the heritage at national level, unfortunately, lacks of perfection. Together and along with the community, the county and local councils – with attributions established by law in terms of ensuring the protection of the built heritage – take the matters of the heritage protection projects in their own hands.
