ABOUT THE PROJECT
FAR PAX is a cross-border initiative that promotes sustainable development by promoting the Bastioned Fortresses of the Border Region. These structures, once military, are now symbols of peace, cooperation, and shared identity between Portugal and Spain.

The physical deterioration of the fortresses;
Limited accessibility;
Lack of infrastructure and heritage interpretation;
Need for tourism promotion and community involvement.
