The Cartagena City Council has obtained a grant from the Ministry of Tourism and Culture for the Consolidation, Restoration and Adaptation Project of the western bay of Insula IV del Molinete.
The budget for this project is 100,000 euros and has an execution period of five months.
“The enhancement of the Windlass is one of our priorities.
The excavations are very advanced, the Museum will open shortly and this grant will allow us to continue working on the insula IV.
This archaeological park, which is one of the largest in Europe in urban areas, is one of the jewels of our heritage, ”said the Mayor and Councilor for Urban Planning, Housing and Strategic Projects, and Heritage, Ana Beln Castejn.
The main objective of this project is to guarantee the consolidation of the goods already excavated, which correspond to the remains of a domus;
complete the archaeological documentation of rooms 3 and 4, from the high imperial era, of said dwelling;
and carry out the physical and chemical study of the conserved goods.
On the other hand, in Insula IV, also, a rest area will be included, with a fountain, and wooden benches, which will restore the trace of the historical walls, with a pool that provides fresh and sound and with a plant set in the border with the street that protects moderately from the views, as well as, a ramp area to connect with the path that connects the Forum with the sanctuary of Insula II.
In this way, the Temple of Isis and the Windlass Museum will be connected, saving different archaeological levels for people with reduced mobility.
“The commissioning of the Museum and the connection between this building and the Isis temple will be fundamental to understand the site and its historical evolution.
We have the great fortune of having an exceptional heritage that make us a place of reference and an exceptional tourist destination, ”said the mayor.
