埃斯皮奥卡的塔楼-城堡自1993年以来是具有文化价值的资产，属于纪念碑类别。它被列入瓦伦西亚文化遗产总目录以及瓦伦西亚社区文化部的考古遗址目录。
The Tower-Castle of Espioca is an Asset of Cultural Interest with the category of monument since 1993. It is included in the General Inventory of Valencian Cultural Heritage as well as in the Inventory of Archaeological Sites of the Department of Culture of the Valencian Community.
建筑技术与它的性质密切相关。穆斯林时期的防御性建筑的特点是以使用夯土技术为主要手段。建筑是用当地材料和劳动力进行的。它向我们讲述了资源的经济性和可持续性，正如埃斯皮奥卡塔的情况一样。
The construction technique is closely linked to its very nature. The defensive structures from the Muslim period were characterized by the use of the rammed-earth technique as the main one. The construction was carried out with both local materials and labor. It speaks to us of the economy of resources and sustainability as in the case of the Espioca Tower.
如果不对可见的纪念物和周围现有的土丘下可能隐藏的痕迹进行深入的研究，就不可能解决这个问题。因此，为了获得有关古代建筑的相关数据，我们进行了第一个考古跟踪阶段，这些古代建筑一定是围绕着塔楼建造的，形成了塔楼的外貌。
Adress the works wouldn’t be possible without undertaking an in-deep study of both the visible monument and the possible hidden traces under the existing mound in the immediate surroundings. Therefore, a first archaeological follow-up phase is carried out in order to obtain relevant data concerning ancient structures which must have been built around the tower creating its exterior picture.
塔楼的墙体结构仍然保留着其传统建筑类型的痕迹特征。由于这个原因，它试图恢复传统的工作、技术和材料，以恢复失去的稳定性。为此，我们决定使用当时的材料。在阿拉伯时期，这些材料被用来建造那种防御性的建筑。我们的首要任务是保护资产，以及明确区分原始元素，建立材料之间的对话。我们的前提是保护和提高对该纪念碑不同历史阶段的认识。
The wall structures of the tower still preserve their own trails characteristic of their traditional type of construction. For this very reason, it seeks to recover traditional jobs, techniques, and materials in order to restore lost stability to the whole. To this end, it has been decided to use the materials of the time. During Arab Period these materials were used to build that kind of defensive buildings. Our priority is to preserve the asset as well as to clearly differentiate between the original elements establishing a dialogue among the materials. Our premise is to preserve and raise awareness about the different historical phases of the monument.
进入塔楼的通道将通过原来的通道。这将有可能借助于一个由两根弦杆完成的金属楼梯，它将被固定在地面上；一个楼梯也将被放在上面。这个楼梯将由一个折叠的金属板组成，它将到达塔楼的通道层并进入塔楼。
The access to the tower will be through the original access. It will be possible with the help of a metal staircase done with two stringers which will be anchored to the ground; a stairway shall be placed on it too. This stairway will consist of a folded metal sheet that will reach the access level of the tower and will get into it.
该干预措施代表了一个机会，即干预具有巨大景观价值的环境，其两侧是历史上的交通路线和具有艺术和建筑价值的纪念物，如Picassent的Espioca塔。
The intervention represents an opportunity of intervening surroundings of great landscape value flanked by historical communication routes and monuments of both artistic and architectural value such as the Espioca Tower of Picassent.
