The workshop of Cantería Olnasa is undertaking the reproduction of the southern doorway of the Roman Church of San Miguel de Uncastillo (Zaragoza, Spain), that currently is to be found in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (USA). It is an initiative for, in some way, recovering, part of the lost treasure.

After almost 2 years of rehabilitation work, the Medieval Market of Unicastillo, Zaragoza, was inaugurated last 29 July as the headquarters of the UNCASTILLO Foundation. From here the Foundation will develop all its cultural program and patrimony management. " In the rehabilitation of this building, as far as possible, the original structure has been maintained. The reconstruction realized has been done only when the conserved remains have provided sufficient data about the original form.
