Archaeologists (Madrid Department of the German Archaeological Institute) have been working continuously in Munigua since 1956. The research programme (completed in 2012) was devoted to the study of the economic foundations of the city. Currently, the research is dedicated to the production of a three-dimensional model of the entire city and its buildings, which means corresponding research on the interior of the buildings, the movements of people in the houses, functionality, habitability and usability.
