The enhancement of the Roman Amphitheater in Cartagena is getting closer to being a reality.
And, this Monday, December 9, will begin the excavation work prior to the work of consolidation of the perimeter wall, which constitute the second phase of this project.
This excavation is necessary and must be carried out prior to the next major phase of the project.
The works that begin on Monday will allow to know the exact depth to which the archaeological remains are found, which as they are discovered, will be identified and cataloged.
This work has an execution period of one month and will involve an investment of almost 21,000 euros.
The second phase of consolidation of the wall will be contracted from January next year, with a budget of about 400,000 euros.
Of these, 300,000 euros come from state funding, from a 1.5% cultural grant, and the remaining 100,000 euros are from a municipal contribution.
It should be remembered that the first phase of the works was undertaken in the previous legislature, throughout 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, with the commitment of the mayor, Ana Belén Castejón.
"For this government team, the recovery of the Roman Amphitheater in Cartagena is an absolute priority," said Ana Belén Castejón.
Thus, he has advanced: "with the beginning of these works we take another, very important step, in this dream that we can culminate with the aid that the Government of Spain promised us."
The project that is going to be undertaken is a work by Andrés Cánovas Arquitectos, with the municipal technical direction of Marta Pérez and Ángel Alcaraz, rigger and architect of the Infrastructure Department, respectively.
For his part, the director of strategic projects, historical-artistic heritage and culture of the City of Cartagena, Damián Pérez Olmos, is responsible for directing the management of the entire project.
