| The cleaning and conditioning work began this week and, as of Monday, the works that will allow the recovery of the maritime façade of the site will begin | The Department of Archaeological Heritage, led by Mayor Ana Belén Castejón, has already started the work prior to the resumption of the works of the II phase of the Roman Amphitheater, which corresponds to the southern quadrant and will allow the recovery of the maritime façade of the site.This same week the cleaning, clearing and conditioning work of both the interior and exterior areas has been carried out, so that the works can develop normally from next Monday.

"Our objective is to continue advancing in the recovery and consolidation of this site, as well as in the enhancement of the impressive archaeological heritage that Cartagena has," said the mayor.It should be remembered that this new intervention in the Amphitheater will continue through the southern quadrant from the Autopsy Pavilion and have been awarded a value of 330,578 euros, to which must be added the 4,322 euros for cleaning and the 3,129 euros for the archaeological supervision contract .RESUME OF VISITSCastejón has also announced that "the recovery of these areas would allow us to open the deposit to visitors while work continues on the rest of the ring." In this way, once the archaeological works have advanced, the City Council plans to resume the 'Open for works' initiative, which was already launched during the work of the first phase of the excavation.On this occasion, the visits will be made in very small groups, due to the mandatory limitations due to the health situation but maintaining the objective that the citizens of Cartagena know first-hand how an excavation of this type is carried out and the wonders that hides the Roman Amphitheater of Cartagena.
