The recovery project is a sum of actions in order to high light the figure of Agustin Luengo «The Extremaduran Giant «.

A scan of the Extremaduran Giant´s skeleton, taken on 29^th December 2014, at the National Museum of Anthropology in Madrid, can be seen in the photo on the header of this page.

This digitization will be the basis for the construction of a replica of the skeleton and also a cast, the second being a piece of great value because through the study of the remains and the photographs obtained from the time, the piece will be reconstructed as intended by Dr. Velasco.

The Project is counting on further actions, as detailed below:
