The actions of restoration has been focused on the tower located on the entrance and specially on the Homage Tower, broken and fall with fractured walls and with an evident danger of falling that forced to keep the building closed. The recovery, limited to actions that allow to close and give consistency to the whole volume included a complex falsework and sewn system while the shuttering of the tower and the subways entrances was removed and, later, the construction of the breast which closed and sewed the structure, including wooden slabs disposed on "sabots" which tightened the different layers of the wall.
