This morning, the deputy spokesman of MC Cartagena, Jesús Giménez, informed of the communication made this week by the General Directorate of Cultural Property notifying that "at the initiative of José López, the files for the declaration of the Zapata House have been opened and the Master House as a Property of Cultural Interest, two of our modernist jewels ".

In this way, the two motions of the Cartagenerist formation of November 2017, which demanded the start of both procedures, begin to bear fruit.

Jesús Giménez has congratulated himself on the fact that "one of the direct consequences that this secure declaration will have, because we do not believe that Cultural Property has the audacity to discuss it, will be the obligation of the owner to facilitate the visit to citizens for four days at month. And what it already has is to prevent the owners from carrying out actions in them that could undermine their integrity. "

"In the case of the Maestre house," Giménez has continued, MC's motivation was projected to "increase its protection, because it has been for sale and rent (with posters on its facade) for years and its unprotected rear facade."

Later, the Cartagenerist leader has influenced the example that Casa Zapata represents for modernist architecture "With the BIC declaration of this property we intend to pay tribute to the exquisite care that the community of nuns 'Carmelitas Descalzas' have dedicated to what over seventy years. "

"We consider it essential to protect this large carved stone building that preserves even the magnificent pavements of Nolla in some rooms."

More than two years of waiting

After verifying that Castejón never referred these agreements to the Ministry, Giménez said that "we hope that in less than 6 months we will have a resolution declaring BIC both modernist jewels, preventing us from reaching the plundering situation of Villa Calamari and the House of Uncle Lobo or of irrelevance of the Llagostera House, some of Arroyo's never just recognized achievements. "

"Our ambition is, of course, protection and public visitation, but also to ensure that one day the Master's House houses the Cartagena Museum, with special emphasis on the last third of the nineteenth century and the first of the twentieth century," concluded the deputy spokesman of MC Cartagena.
