08 October 2012. El Fasher: A nurse prepares a vaccination against the meningitis at the office of the Expanded Program of Immunization (EPI) in E Fasher, North Darfur.
A massive vaccination campaign, organized by the Governement of Sudan and the World Health Organization (WHO) against meningococcal A meningitis started this month targeting 16.9 million children and adults, ranging from 1 to 29 years, in all Darfur states, Blue Nile, Khartoum, Gezira, Sennar and Gedaref. The rest of Sudan will be vaccinated during the first quarter of 2013.
The vaccine protects children as young as one year of age and young adults, and confers immunity that may last a decade. It reduces transmission and contributes to herd immunity, meaning that even people who were not vaccinated receive some protection.
WHO estimates that the vaccine is expected to reduce cases of meningitis A between 80% and 85%, and this is valid for Sudan as well, and will save nearly 150 000 young lives in the Meningitis belt countries by 2015.

18 October 2012. Sharga: A woman in Sharga village, in North Darfur, welcomes the arrival of a delegation of ambassadors of the European Union countries to the SAFE centre.
The SAFE Centre is a project promoted by the World Food Program and currently only run by the local community.
The members of this center make fuel efficient stoves for themselves and to sell to the local markets. These stoves reduce around 30% the consumption of firewood and, consequently, it reduces the number of times that women go to the forests to collect firewood.
Besides, the center produces natural firebricks, plants seedlings, runs a forest of gum arabic trees and organizes trainings for illiterate women.

Estatua a Pau Casals.
Pau Casals i Defilló (El Vendrell, Catalunya 1876 - San Juan, Puerto Rico 1973) fou un violoncel·lista, pedagog, director i compositor musical català. La seva gran contribució al món de la música va ser la innovació en la interpretació amb el violoncel que, més tard, va ser adoptada per tots els violoncel·listes del món.
La seva interpretació d'El cant dels ocells ha esdevingut un símbol de pau i llibertat arreu del món, i de manera molt més significativa dins l'àmbit català.
El 1958 va fer un concert i el "missatge de pau" que Pau Casals havia gravat uns dies abans a Ginebra fou retransmès a més de 40 països. També aquell any fou proposat com a candidat pel Premi Nobel de la Pau.
El 1961 va ser convidat pel president John F. Kennedy a fer un concert a la Casa Blanca i, dos anys més tard, el mateix president dels Estats Units, li concedí la Medalla de la Llibertat.
El 1971 va compondre l'Himne a les Nacions Unides, que dirigí el 24 d'octubre d'aquell any en un concert a la mateixa seu de les Nacions Unides, i on el secretari General de les Nacions Unides U Thant li entregà la Medalla de la Pau. Fou en aquesta ocasió que va pronunciar la frase "What is more, I am a Catalan." explicant que Catalunya tenia un parlament democratic molt abans que Anglaterra.
El 1973 va patir un atac de cor irreversible, a Puerto Rico. Va morir a San Juan de Puerto Rico el 22 d'octubre de 1973. L'any 1979 es van traslladar les seves despulles al cementiri del Vendrell, moment en el qual li fou concedida, a títol pòstum, la Medalla d'Or de la Generalitat de Catalunya.

Pau Casals i Defilló (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈpaw kəˈzaɫs]) (December 29, 1876 – October 22, 1973), known during his professional career as Pablo Casals, was a Spanish Catalan cellist and conductor. He made many recordings throughout his career, of solo, chamber, and orchestral music, also as conductor, but Casals is perhaps best remembered for the recording of the Bach Cello Suites he made from 1936 to 1939.
Casals was an ardent supporter of the Spanish Republican government. After its defeat in 1939, Casals vowed not to return to Spain until democracy had been restored, although he did not live to see the end of the Franco dictatorial regime.
One of his last compositions was the "Hymn of the United Nations". He conducted its first performance in a special concert at the United Nations on October 24, 1971, two months before his 95th birthday. On that day, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, U Thant awarded Pau Casals the U.N. Peace Medal in recognition of his stance for peace, justice and freedom. Casals accepted the medal and made his famous "I am a Catalan" speech, where he explained that Catalonia had the first democratic parliament, long before England did.
He also made popular the old Catalan song, "El cant dels ocells" playing it at the UN.

Pau Carles Salvador Casals i Defilló (El Vendrell, 29 de diciembre de 1876 - San Juan de Puerto Rico, 22 de octubre de 1973), más conocido como Pau Casals, y también como Pablo Casals en Latinoamérica y el mundo anglosajón, es unos de los músicos catalanes mas destacados del siglo XX. Por su incomparable desempeño como instrumentista del violonchelo, Casals es considerado uno de los mejores violonchelistas de todos los tiempos.
Una de sus composiciones más célebres es el "Himno de las Naciones Unidas", conocido como el "Himno de la Paz", compuesto mientras residía en su segunda patria, Puerto Rico (donde había nacido y se había criado su madre), y donde residían otros españoles renombrados internacionalmente, tales como Juan Ramón Jiménez y Francisco Ayala. Magnífico director de orquesta y notabilísimo compositor, Casals fue siempre un artista completísimo, con la más férrea disciplina y la dedicación más profunda a la música.
Además de reconocérselo por su imponente obra musical, Pau Casals destacó en todo el mundo por su activismo en la defensa de la paz, la democracia, la libertad y los derechos humanos, que le valieron prestigiosas condecoraciones como la Medalla de la Paz de la ONU y ser nominado al Premio Nobel de la Paz.
Fue en la ONU donde Casal dijo al aceptar la medalla "I am a Catalan"" (Soy un Catalán) donde explico que Catalunya tenia el primer parlamento democratico, mucho antes que Inglaterra.
Casals también manifestó públicamente su oposición al régimen franquista y su deseo de ver una Cataluña no necesariamente independiente pero con un grado alto de autonomía (vid. cap. V de sus memorias, dictadas originariamente en francés a Albert E. Kahn y traducidas al catalán como Joia i Tristor).
Pau Casals murió el 22 de octubre de 1973, a la edad de 96 años, en San Juan de Puerto Rico, a consecuencia de un ataque al corazón. Fue enterrado en el Cementerio Conmemorativo de San Juan de Puerto Rico.
El 9 de noviembre de 1979, restablecida la democracia en España, sus restos fueron trasladados al cementerio de El Vendrell, su población natal, donde actualmente descansan.

25 July 2012. Gereida: A young girl farms the land outside Gereida (South Darfur) during the rainy season. Women, children and elder people living in camps usually farm the surrounding lands and let men work in further areas in order to avoid robberies, rapes and other perpetrations.
The area is controlled by the Government of Sudan forces. In May, the rebel movement occupied Gereida for 24 hours after a big clash that destroyed the telecommunications of the city and several buildings.
UNAMID has deployed a battalion from Ethiopia (more than 800 soldiers) that assures the protection of civilians.

London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom. It is the most populous region, urban zone and metropolitan area in the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) mediaeval boundaries and in 2011 had a resident population of 7,375, making it the smallest city in England. Since at least the 19th century, the term London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region and the Greater London administrative area, governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.
London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence. It is one of the world's leading financial centres and has the fifth-or sixth-largest metropolitan area GDP in the world depending on measurement. London is a world cultural capital. It is the world's most-visited city as measured by international arrivals and has the world's largest city airport system measured by passenger traffic. London's 43 universities form the largest concentration of higher education in Europe. In 2012, London became the first city to host the modern Summer Olympic Games three times.
London has a diverse range of peoples and cultures, and more than 300 languages are spoken within its boundaries. London had an official population of 8,308,369 in 2012, making it the most populous municipality in the European Union, and accounting for 12.5% of the UK population. The Greater London Urban Area is the second-largest in the EU with a population of 9,787,426 according to the 2011 census. The London metropolitan area is the largest in the EU with a total population of 13,614,409, while the Greater London Authority puts the population of London metropolitan region at 21 million. London had the largest population of any city in the world from around 1831 to 1925.
London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret's Church; and the historic settlement of Greenwich (in which the Royal Observatory, Greenwich marks the Prime Meridian, 0° longitude, and GMT). Other famous landmarks include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, and The Shard.
London is home to numerous museums, galleries, libraries, sporting events and other cultural institutions, including the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, British Library and 40 West End theatres. The London Underground is the oldest underground railway network in the world.
Londres és la capital del Regne Unit i de facto d'Anglaterra i una de les ciutats més grans d'Europa. Està situada al sud de l'illa de Gran Bretanya i dista poques hores del canal de la Mànega, que separa el Regne Unit de França. Al nord hi ha els comtats de Essex i Hertfordshire, a l'oest els comtats de Buckinghamshire i Berkshire mentre que al sud hi ha els de Kent i Surrey.
Londres està format per la City i 32 municipis. El cor de la ciutat, l'antiga City de Londres, encara manté els seus límits medievals, però des del segle XIX el terme Londres també es refereix al total de la metròpoli que s'ha desenvolupat al voltant. L'actual connurbació forma la regió de Londres i l'àrea administrativa del Gran Londres. Avui dia la City és una petita part de Londres, exactament de 2'6 km², però que conserva el seu estatus de ciutat i de Comtat cerimonial d'Anglaterra, mentre que els 32 municipis de Londres formen part del Comtat cerimonial d'Anglaterra del Gran Londres. Tres dels 32 municipis tenen estatus especials, Westminster té estatus de ciutat, el municipi de Kingston upon Thames i de Kensington i Chelsea tenen estatus de municipi Reial.
La posició de Londres sobre el riu Tàmesi la fa ideal també per al transport marítim. El Tàmesi travessa la ciutat d'oest a est i la divideix en dues parts. Les seves ribes, però, estan unides per nombrosos túnels i ponts, el més famós dels quals és el Tower Bridge o Pont de la Torre, d'estil neogòtic.
Londres és una de les capitals del món dels negocis, les finances i centres culturals, i la seva influència en la política, educació, entreteniment, mitjans de masses, moda i art fan de Londres una de les majors ciutats globals. A Londres hi ha quatre llocs que són Patrimoni de la Humanitat: el Palau de Westminster, l'Abadia de Westminster i l'església de Santa Margarita; la Torre de Londres; el lloc històric de Greenwich; i els Jardins botànics Reials, Kew. La ciutat és una de les majors destinacions turístiques mundials, i la seva popularitat s'ha vist incrementada a causa del creixement econòmic
Londres té una població molt diversa, amb moltes cultures, religions i s'hi parlen més de 300 llengües. El 2011 la població oficial era de 8.174.100, dins els límits del Gran Londres i és la municipalitat més poblada de la Unió Europea. i l'àrea metropolitana s'estima que té una població d'entre 12 i 14 milions. Londres ha estat la seu dels Jocs Olímpics d'estiu 2012.
Els principals aeroports de Londres són els de Heathrow, Gatwick i Stansted. També hi ha altres aeroports menors, com el de la City, el de Luton i el de Southend.
3 April 2012. El Fasher: (Center) Abdurrahim Ahmed Mohamed (12 years old) is pictured in his house in Al Salam camp for displaced persons with his closest friends (from left to right) Maggi Issa (10), Mohammed Abdalla (8), Jamil Ala Abbakar (12) and Faris Kharoum (7).
Abdurrahim lost his right hand and the sight on his left eye due to a detonation of an unexploded ordnance (UXO).
It happened in 2008 in Kabkabiya, his original village, when Abdurrahim and his friends found the UXO near his house. They started playing with it until it detonated.
Abdurrahim, who wants to become a doctor, is still struggling to learn how to write with his left hand.
UXOs are explosive weapons (bombs, bullets, shells, grenades, land mines, naval mines, etc.) that did not explode when they were employed and still pose a risk of detonation, potentially many decades after they were used or discarded.
Tomorrow, 4th April, is the International Day of Mine Awareness. In Darfur, as a consequence of the ongoing conflict, UXOs is one of the main problems for the civilians, specially children. Hundreds of them have been mutilated.

9 August 2012. Kutum: A man and a woman from Kassab camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), in Kutum (North Darfur), wait to be examined by doctors.
The civilian population in Kutum received today the first humanitarian assistance since the area was attacked on 1 August. A school in the surroundings of the village has been used as a provisional medical center.
A medical team formed by UNAMID, World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health of North Darfur assisted about 200 people, mostly women and children with injuries from the attacks and other kind of diseases due to the lack of food and potable water.
The series of incidents began on 1 August when the Commissioner of the district of Alwaha, in Kutum town, and his driver were shot dead and his vehicle was carjacked by three unknown armed men. Later in the day, the official’s vehicle was recovered by Government of Sudan security agents 2 kilometres from the Kassab internally displaced persons (IDP) camp.
Subsequently, on the same day armed men surrounded Kassab, looted the market, burnt down the Sudanese Police post in the camp and reportedly killed four persons (three civilians and one police officer) and injured six others.
Similar events leading to the deterioration in the security and humanitarian situation occurred the following days in and around Kutum town, Kassab and Fataborno IDP camps, including fighting between the armed elements and Government Forces, as well as looting and displacement of civilians.

Edifici industrial amb una superfície total de 2.610 m2 (1.892 m2 d'ús), amb dues naus centrals flanquejades per altres dues de major llargada (corresponents a diverses fases, constituint una estructura d'U"), definint un gran pati al seu davant. L'aparell constructiu és de maó, amb obertures culminades amb arcs rebaixats, i culminació ondulada de les façanes, tot reproduint l'estil constructiu fabril britànic propi del S. XIX. La coberta de les diverses naus és resolta a doble vessant.
Observacions: L'espai de la fàbrica, adquirida per l'Ajuntament de Masquefa, inclou actualment una aula informàtica, el Punt d'Informació Juvenil i provisionalment el Fons Fotogràfic Municipal. Tanmateix, hi ha el projecte d'instal·lar-hi en un futur la biblioteca de la xarxa de la diputació, una sala polivalent, un casal entitats, joves i esplai, l'arxiu històric i una sala d'exposicions.
Creada el 1920 (tot i que l'empresa era instal·lada a la població des del 1892) i originalment dedicada a la fabricació de sivelles de cinturó, la fàbrica ha estat un dels principals motors econòmics de Masquefa al llarg del S. XX. Durant la Guerra Civil la seva producció fou substituïda per la de projectils per al bàndol republicà. Aquest fet provocà l'atac aeri franquista del 22 de gener de 1939, en que es llençaren dues bombes amb la fàbrica com a objectiu, tot i que n'erraren el blanc.

Descripció:
La fàbrica Rogelio Rojo està situada entre els carrers Rogelio Rojo, Fàbrica, Santa Clara i avinguda Catalunya. Es tracta d'un conjunt arquitectònic d'ús industrial construït en èpoques diferents: any 1917, anys 30, anys 50, anys 60 i any 1973. El volum principal del conjunt té forma d'U, està format per dos naus de planta baixa i una nau de planta baixa i primera planta. A més hi ha una sèrie d'edificacions annexes que s'han anat afegint al llarg del temps. L'espai interior és diàfan i de grans dimensions, gràcies als grans finestrals i a la coberta en forma de dent de serra. L'estructura vertical és de pilars d'acer i parets de càrrega d'obra vista a base de maó massís. La coberta és de teula àrab sobre solera de ceràmica que es recolza sobre encavallades de fusta i metàl·liques (en substitució de les de fusta originals).

Els paviments són de formigó i presenten certs desnivells i algunes reparacions. A l'interior hi ha unes divisions a total alçada amb parets de maó amb pilarets de reforç. El conjunt industrial ocupa un solar de 9.752 m2 dels quals 4.675 són de construccions.
Notícies històriques:
En el període de la primera Guerra Mundial (1914-1918) es produeix un augment de demanda per part dels països contendents que anima el desenvolupament de la industria dedicada al sector tèxtil i metal·lúrgic. En aquest moment la família Rojo va iniciar la fabricació de complements per les peces de roba que confeccionaven ells mateixos. Finalment varen optar per fabricar únicament fornitures metàl·liques com sivelles, botons i agulles i també plaques per a les ampolles de cava. Després de la Guerra les exportacions catalanes van patir una davallada. La crisi es tradueix en atur dels treballadors i es produeixen conflictes socials. L'empresa Rogelio Rojo instal·la la seva nova fàbrica a Masquefa, lluny de la conflictivitat de les àrees urbanes. L'arquitecte encarregat del projecte fou Josep Donés i Torres. El ritme de producció dels primers anys era estable, la balança entre les importacions i exportacions era favorable, els salaris eren baixos i la plantilla estava majoritàriament per dones. L'any 1936 amb l'esclat de la Guerra Civil la producció no es va alterar. L'any 1937 en contacte amb la Comissió d'indústries de Guerra per la Generalitat de Catalunya, es comencen a fabricar projectils per l'exercit republicà i també es construeix un nou edifici. El 22 de gener de 1939 Masquefa va ser bombardejada per l'aviació italiana. L'època des post guerra van ser uns moments difícils i la fàbrica es va convertir en un referent econòmic i un element socialitzador pel municipi de Masquefa. Durant la dècada de 1970 es construeix un nou edifici de dues plantes preparat pel procés productiu del galvanitzat. A finals dels anys 80 les instal·lacions de la fàbrica van quedar obsoletes i ja no podia competir en el mercat. La fàbrica va tancar al tombant del segle XX. Aquesta fàbrica ha desenvolupat activitats relacionades amb la metal·lúrgia. La darrera empresa va plegar l'any 2002.

9 August 2012. Kutum: Women from Kassab camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), in Kutum (North Darfur), wait to be examined by doctors.
The civilian population in Kutum received today the first humanitarian assistance since the area was attacked on 1 August. A school in the surroundings of the village has been used as a provisional medical center.
A medical team formed by UNAMID, World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health of North Darfur assisted about 200 people, mostly women and children with injuries from the attacks and other kind of diseases due to the lack of food and potable water.
The series of incidents began on 1 August when the Commissioner of the district of Alwaha, in Kutum town, and his driver were shot dead and his vehicle was carjacked by three unknown armed men. Later in the day, the official’s vehicle was recovered by Government of Sudan security agents 2 kilometres from the Kassab internally displaced persons (IDP) camp.
Subsequently, on the same day armed men surrounded Kassab, looted the market, burnt down the Sudanese Police post in the camp and reportedly killed four persons (three civilians and one police officer) and injured six others.
Similar events leading to the deterioration in the security and humanitarian situation occurred the following days in and around Kutum town, Kassab and Fataborno IDP camps, including fighting between the armed elements and Government Forces, as well as looting and displacement of civilians.

Several weeks ago, all the IDPs left the camp due to the attacks of armed militias who also destroyed the main clinic, run by the NGO Goal. That clinic is still out of service because all the equipment was looted by the attackers.
The IDPs started to come back to the camp recently and this provisional clinic, located in an old shelter, assists between 300 and 400 people everyday with not enough personnel (only 3 medical assistants) and medicines.
The series of incidents began on 1 August when the Commissioner of the district of Alwaha, in Kutum town, and his driver were shot dead and his vehicle was carjacked by three unknown armed men. Later in the day, the official’s vehicle was recovered by Government of Sudan security agents 2 kilometres from the Kassab internally displaced persons (IDP) camp.

A 317 metres d'altitud, sobre el camí de l'Ordal, es troben les restes del castell de Cervelló i la seva capella. El castell consta de dos recintes, un de superior i un altre inferior. Al recinte jussà hi havia el barri del castell tancat per una muralla; aquí es conserven restes d'edificacions de difícil identificació, alguns dipòsits, una sala que conserva part d'una volta apuntada i una cisterna rodona buidada a la roca: és on devia estar el poblat. Al recinte sobirà hi ha una porta o poterna molt enderrocada, defensada per un mur amb contraforts, i les parets de la torre o baluard de ponent; es conserven, molt enderrocades, les parets de tramuntana, migdia i ponent, i, a llevant, s'aixeca una torre massissa de planta lleugerament trapezial i una mica atalussada. Les dues torres eren unides per panys de muralla.
Entre els anys 2010-2011 el conjunt monumental del castell fou restaurat i consolidat per tal de fer-lo visitable. Durant aquesta restauració es van portar a terme diverses intervencions arqueològiques que van permetre deixar a la vista bona part de les estructures que configuraven el castell i delimitar diferents fases constructives d'aquest, incloent-hi una ocupació de l'indret en l'edat del bronze.
Capella:
Des de la meitat de segle X ja s'esmenta la parròquia de Sant Esteve, que era al mateix edifici que la cel·la de Santa Creu depenent de Sant Cugat, sota mateix del castell, a l'indret de l'església anomenada avui Santa Maria de Cervelló. Hi ha una consagració del 1231 que es refereix a l'altar major de Sant Esteve que, malgrat que per la data correspondria millor a la capella del castell de Cervelló i no a la parròquia, hom sempre l'ha atribuïda a aquesta darrera.

Descripció
El castell de Cervelló és documentat l'any 904, quan el comte Guifré Borrell, que hi residia, feu unes donacions al monestir de Sant Cugat. El 992, el castell fou venut pels fills del comte Borrell, Ramon Borrell de Barcelona i Ermengol d'Urgell, a Ènnec Bonfill, que esdevingué senyor de Cervelló, la Palma, Torrelles de Llobregat, Vallirana i Olesa de Bonesvalls. El 1297 Guerau de Cervelló vengué al rei Jaume II la baronia. El 1309, el castell pervingué a la comtessa Sibil·la de Pallars, i el 1320 a Arnau Roger II de Pallars. Posteriorment retornà a la corona, que el 1390 el vengué a la ciutat de Barcelona. Passà després als Bellera, als Luna, als Ansa i a d'altres nobles llinatges. Al voltant de 1715, el castell ja era abandonat. Capella: Des de la meitat de segle X ja s'esmenta la parròquia de Sant Esteve, que era al mateix edifici que la cel·la de Santa Creu depenent de Sant Cugat, sota mateix del castell, a l'indret de l'església anomenada avui Santa Maria de Cervelló. Hi ha una consagració del 1231 que es refereix a l'altar major de Sant Esteve que, malgrat que per la data correspondria millor a la capella del castell de Cervelló i no a la parròquia, hom sempre l'ha atribuïda a aquesta darrera.
Capella:
A ponent del recinte jussà es troba la capella, un petit edifici rectangular, amb l'absis marcat només a l'interior per un parell d'arcosolis. La volta, tot i estar enderrocada, sembla que va ser apuntada, i a l'arrencament d'aquesta hi ha un a línia d'impostes en cavet. L'entrada era a ponent però avui dia hi ha un gran forat, a l'igual que a la paret de l'absis.L'aparell és de carreus grans, molt ben tallats, propi del romànic.
Amb la voluntat per part de l'Ajuntament de Cervelló de rehabilitar el castell i fer-lo visitable, es va encarregar el projecte arquitectònic a una empresa i es va obtenir part del finançament de l'obra del Ministeri de Foment.
L'any 2010 es va realitzar una intervenció arqueològica al recinte superior del castell, que va permetre localitzar un gran nivell d'enderroc. A l'àmbit D es va documentar una escala de tipus gòtic. Aquestes dues troballes són evidències de l'existència d'un pis superior. Finalment a l'àmbit B es va trobar un capitell i una mènsula.
L'any 2010 en el marc d'un projecte de restauració de la zona es va portar a terme una excavació arqueològica. El conjunt monumental està format pel castell, l'esglèsia, la necròpolis, i estructures d'habitació.
L'excavació del recinte superior del castell va proporcionar una seqüència estratifgràfica que, a la torre, ha assolit una potència de prop de 3m de profunditat mentre que al sector de ponent, la potència era d'entre 1 i 1'5m. Els estrats superiors corresponen a potents enderrocs que proporcionen informació sobre un possible pis superior.
L'enderroc ha proporcionat material datable del primer quart del segle XVIII per la qual cosa cal associar-lo a la Guerra de Successió, que n'hauria implicat la seva destrucció definitiva.
Els nivells d'amortització i/o abandonament van aportar materials associats a la primera meitat del s. XVII, ceràmica blava catalana i ceràmica decorada amb reflexos metàl·lics amb pinzell-pinta.
El nivell d'ús o paviments estava format per un nivell de rajols, i/o lloses de pedra. Fet que porta als investigadors a pensar en un enllosat de pedra en època gòtica. Per sota en alguns àmbits es va trobar un paviment de calç. El castell va sofrir modificacions i refiormes que, segurament, van esvorrar tota petjada estratigràfica anterior al segle XIV, però l'estudi dels paraments potser ajuda a donar llum a aquestes reformes i/o les seves cronologies.
Entre 2010 i 2011 es va realitzar la segona i tercera campanya d'excavació al castell que es centraren en l'actuació al recinte inferior del castell i les terrasses adjacents. Com a resultat es va documentar una primera ocupació de l'indret en el bronze inicial. També es documentaren diverses estructures del període altmedieval, així com un primer moment d'abandonament entorn del segle XV. Amb tot, el castell es tornà a ocupar, documentant reformes posteriors situades ja a partir del segle XVI. La destrucció del castell durant la guerra de successió ha quedat confirmat pels nivells d'enderroc i del material arqueològic associat a aquest. Durant aquesta intervenció s'ha efectuat a més una nova planimetria del castell.
L'any 2015 es va realitzar el control arqueològic del moviment de terres durant les obres per a la instal·lació de l'il·luminació del castell, el qual no va proporcionar restes arqueològiques.
