It is a novel project, designed for the whole of the Plaza de Toros - Roman Amphitheater of Cartagena, which proposes the consolidation of the double wall of the old bullring through a reinforcement system over its entire surface, and will allow the full recovery of the interior space of the double wall, initially about 18 meters.
In this way, once consolidated, the excavation of the minor axis of the Amphitheater will be carried out with absolute security with its set of rooms with integral roof, as shown in the drawings of the 18th century.
At the end of last September, during the presentation of the project, the municipal coordinator of Historical and Archaeological Heritage, Mari Carmen Berrocal, stated that the objective "is to consolidate the double wall of the bullring (front and interior) to eliminate the micropilotage.
The double wall, from the façade to the autopsy pavilion, will be maintained with a practical purpose as a place of exhibition and interpretation or museographic zone, and will have three heights ".
The documentation that is extracted will be the basis for the realization of a master plan.
It should be noted that this project is subject to the following specific regulations the Cultural Heritage laws of the CARM, and the Spanish Historical Heritage.
