The Fundación Teatro Romano de Cartagena's future project is to undertake the archaeological excavations of this space and its enhancement.
From the interventions carried out between 1999 and 2006, its architecture is broadly known.
It is a large public space with a quadrangular plan, with a double gallery that surrounds a central landscaped space, planned in the same construction process as the Roman theater building.
The portico, in addition to its utilitarian function at the service of the theater and as a place of expansion and recreation, was also a suitable space for the promotion of local elites and the imperial family.The third block is dedicated to the mural painting located in the intervention carried out in the western sector of the portico in 2006, which allowed us to verify the existence of two rooms that divided the interior gallery, whose collapsed levels presented a rich pictorial program.
Future projects intend to restart excavations in this sector, complete the extraction of the wall paintings that were protected on the pavement of the rooms as well as expand the excavation towards the central area of ??the portico, which has not been investigated until now.
.The ultimate goal is to complete the understanding of the Roman theater by investigating the rear portico, undertaking its restoration and enhancement, as well as completing the urban and heritage recovery of this sector of the city.The tour of the graphic panels of the exhibition is surrounded by the display in showcases of some plates with mural painting, one decorated with fictitious architecture and the other with concentric floral and geometric medallions, in whose central area the figurative motif of a griffin appears.
Other cladding materials are also exhibited such as hexagonal slabs of Phrygian or Palombino marble corresponding to the paving of the galleries, as well as pieces molded in Carrara marble from the ornamentation of the baseboards of the walls.CONTEMPORARY HOLOGRAPHIC MUSEUMLikewise, the artist Belén Orta, a sculptor and multidisciplinary creative, will guide her proposal for a Contemporary Holographic Museum.
