We have already drafted a project that will deliver next week for the option of 1.5% culture, and that right now is take the issue of funding is the most sensitive issue.
Berrocal added that we have the firm commitment of the government team to intervene in the bullring.
Even the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, we have proposed a major project to present European funds. Right now we are in the process of drafting.
The archaeologist pointed out that what we must do, with the help of infrastructure and municipal service, is working on the safety of the wall of the bullring, which is in very bad shape.
José Pérez Ballester, a professor at the University of Valencia and member of the team, stressed that it is important to note that in 2008 a project was very ambitious conservation bullring and Amphitheatre total excavation began, but with the crisis and the suspension of funds, the project became meaningless.
Ballester Perez stressed the i MPORTANCE to keep the bullring: Over time has been deteriorating but we think that should not be missed historical memory, and at least have to see what area of the square can be kept in good condition for it can be both as witness to what there was, but always subject to the total excavation of the amphitheater.
Berrocal stressed that it is intended that the excavation is to open doors and we will try that at the same time being excavated, are being visiting excavation processes.
On the other hand, digging proposing Carmen Berrocal is a natural transit. The entrance through the front door and get to the center of the arena, that is, make an entrance and natural exit, a natural transit through the original doors of the amphitheater, and this excavation would be fast, about three months.
Qua ‰ we FIND EXPOSED IN THE FIRST PHASE OF EXCAVACIÃ "N
The archaeologist, Carmen Berrocal, explained that sum s and dig through 3.80 or 4 meters, the difference between the sand bullring and the arena at the Amphitheater.
We can find rooms with ceilings and roofs intact.
In fact, when we play the cut side of the street Gisbert, we will be 9 meters deep.

On the other hand, the mayor has passed we have no criterion that of the technicians.
Ours is to value, and return to Cartagena, the region and Spain, these archaeological findings to enjoy them.
Jose Lopez explained that we must look for economic means, and in that we are, to undertake as soon as possible.
In addition, the mayor has said that it is possible that can be used for public use, enabling mobile stands.
Even archaeologists tell us that it could enable a capacity of 10,000 spectators.
In this way, we could combine Amphitheatre display and utilization.
But Lopez was keen to stress that n or sell the bear's skin before the hunt, and we'll put it in and see what we value.
