  • Unesco wanted the visual impact of the planned museum to be reduced by painting it white and eliminating the top floor

The museum associated with the Dolmens of Antequera looks rather different than expected.

Works have had to be carried out in accordance with a request by Unesco in order to maintain the complex's World Heritage Site status, which it obtained on 15 July 2016.

Among other demands, Unesco wanted the visual impact of the future museum building to be reduced, and this is now one storey lower than originally planned and has been painted white.
