The main aim of this Training Centre is to transmit and keep alive the knowledge relating to lime and all its applications for the development of everyday life and the professional aspect of it. 

Within the most important activities the museum has launched we must highlight… the creation of a Training Centre. From its very beginning in 2011, they have delivered courses of all levels, both at a national and international level. It is mainly targeted at technicians (Architects, Technical Architects, Restorers, Archaeologists) and professionals linked to construction (Painters, Decorators, Master builders and Masons). However, the general public is also welcome as long as they have an interest in ecological and sustainable traditional construction. 

Lime is one of the most well-known products since Antiquity. Its use can be found in many fields of human activity: industry, construction, agriculture and protection of the environment. It specially stands out because of its availability, its versatility and its low cost. 

The benefits of using lime in the field of construction are countless, and its usage instead of other products leads to a better quality of life and general well-being of citizens. Among its main properties we could basically name the following:

Bactericide, virucidal and fungicidal properties, ideal to keep healthy and disinfected environments.

It does not contain chemical products.

It absorbs CO2, purifying the environment.
