The City Council of Cartagena, through the Culture and Heritage area, led by Ricardo Segado, will publish and present in the coming months a book that will review the history of the clocks located in the most outstanding buildings of the city.

In this way, clocks such as the Palace Hall, Aguirre Palace or Arsenal, will be treated from a historical point of view by the writer José Manuel Solloso, who has ceded all rights to a non-profit association.

The publishing house Cartagena Malbec will be in charge of its publication.

In this regard, Segado held a meeting yesterday with Solloso and the director of the publishing house Malbec, Javier Salinas, to sign the agreement for the publication of the book, which will take place in the coming months.

This agreement is part of the extensive programming that will be carried out during 2017 on the occasion of the celebration in Cartagena of the Year of the Enlightenment.

The idea, continued the mayor, "has arisen thanks to the involvement of the author of the book, José Manuel Solloso, who explains and puts into value this peculiar heritage of Cartagena that perhaps is not as well known as it should be."

Finally, Segado has assured that "from the City Council we are very pleased to be able to continue promoting the disclosure through the edition of books, in this case on the historical clocks of Cartagena
