29. Following a survey of ownership carried out in the late 1960sownership of the totality of the walls was vested in 1973 in the Spanish Statethrough the Ministry of Education and Science. It was transferred to the Xunta de Galicia by Royal Decree in 1994.

     The Spanish Constitution reserves certain rights in relation to the heritage to the central government. Howeverthese are delegated to the competent agencies in the Autonomous Communitiesin this case the Xunta de Galicia. For the Lugo walls the Xunta is in the position of both owner and competent agency. Under the Galician Heritage Law the Xunta is required to cooperate with the municipal authorities in ensuring the protection and conservation of listed monumentsand certain functions are delegated down to them. The Xunta operates through its General Directorate of Cultural Heritage (Dirección General de Patrimonio Cultural)based in Santiago de Compostela.

    The Master Plan for the Conservation and Restoration of the Roman Walls of Lugo (1992) covered proposals for actions to be taken in respect of research and techniques of restoration. This was followed in 1997 by the Special Plan for the Protection and Internal Reform of the Fortified Enceinte of the Town of Lugowhich is concerned principally with the urban environment of the historic town. Howeverit has a direct impact on the protection afforded to the wallsin terms of traffic planningthe creation of open spacesand regulation of building heights. Another planning instrument which affects the walls is the Special Plan for the Protection of the Miño [river]approved by the municipality at the beginning of 1998.

    There is at the present time no management plan sensu stricto for the walls in operation in Lugo: work is continuing on the basis of the 1992 plan. Nor is there a technical unit specifically responsible for the conservation and restoration of the walls. It is against this background that serious consideration is being given to the creation of an independent foundationunder royal patronage and with representatives from governmentacademicvoluntaryand business institutionsto work with the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage of Galicia. The work plan of this body would include the development and implementation of integrated conservationrestorationand maintenance programmes.
