| The works, which will cost just over 40,000 euros, will prevent the deterioration of the defensive building from the 3rd century BC | The Cartagena City Council has already begun conservation and restoration work on the Punic Wall.
Thus, the works will allow the consolidation of the structures of the walls, for a value of 41,484.55 euros.The limestone walls have deteriorated due to the humidity in the area.
Therefore, we are going to work on the surface, where we are going to apply aguacal, a compound that will make it easier for the wall not to break down.The works, which have been contracted through the Archaeological Heritage area, directed by Mayor Ana Belén Castejón, are being carried out by a team of restorers coordinated by the curator Izáskun Martínez.“The Punic Wall is part of the wonderful defensive legacy that our ancestors left us.
It has been part of our history and our city since the 3rd century BC.
C., and as a result of the passage of time and humidity, it required an action like the one we are carrying out at the moment, which will prevent the deterioration of the wall ”, the mayor has valued.The Punic wall is an archaeological site located in the heart of Cartagena and is one of the few remains of defensive buildings from the Carthaginian era that are currently preserved in Spain.
Currently it can be visited at the Interpretation Center of the Punic Wall, included within Cartagena Puerto de Culturas.
