The Shrine of the Temple of Isis, in the neighborhood of the Roman Forum, which is currently finalizing its jobbing, lit for the first time on the evening of Friday, October 21, at 22.30.

This coincided with the Sanctuary on the performance of night radio program The last step of Onda Regional, which included the special presence of Nacho Ares and participation of Deputy Mayor, Ana Belén Castejon, and coordinator with Heritage, Carmen Berrocal.

The program was broadcast live, with thirty cartageneros as public from 23:00 pm to 1:00, from the neighborhood of the Roman Forum, which she wore for the occasion a special brightness.

The object of this power was to conduct a test on the night of the new monumental lighting of this part of the archaeological site corresponding to the sacral area, which will, in the future, both ambient lighting enclosure, as the possibility of night visits .

The work carried out this year in the holy place of the Insula II, financiandos by the Repsol Foundation and executed by Cartagena Port of Cultures, have resulted in the discovery of the magnificent Temple of Isis.

A comprehensive intervention in depth from the various disciplines required of arqueolgía, restoration and architecture, has enabled soon this part of the Barrio del Roman Forum to join the current, which will shape the future Pinwheel Archaeological Park.

At this stage, it has carried out the archaeological excavation of the temple, documenting a series of structures corresponding to tardorrepublicana and even Barcine period as well as a localized cistern next to the podium of the temple and clearly related symbology and water supply for the sanctuary .

In addition, it has conducted laconservación and site restoration, making cleaning treatments and necessary consolidation and Volumetric reinstatements, and the restoration of all the architectural elements that have been used in the reconstruction of both the temple as the peristyle ( footings, bases, shafts, slabs, steps, cornices, etc.)

Also, architectural works have allowed to install a gateway that allows connection to the already musealised area Ãnsula I Quarter of the Roman Forum with the Shrine, making the place a free site of architectural barriers allowing access to the inner sanctum, facilitating so the ride and the visit to it.

We have also carried out the intervention replenishment volumes, using, as far as possible, the original parts obtained during the excavation process, recovering, among others, the volume of the north portico by carving three column bases following the profile and dimensions of the original parts.
