Note from ANSE:

The Directorate General of Urban and Regional Planning of the Autonomous ANSE notified the "Agreement Governing Council final approval of the modification and adaptation of PERI Quarry."

This process includes the necessary changes in that PERI to adapt it to the criteria recommended preservation of the Historic Site from the Department of Fine Arts and Cultural Assets.

Among them was inadequate building land classification as part of the Historic Site as ANSE was reported in different meetings which had also involved the City of Cartagena.

Given this resolution, ASEAN has asked the mayor of Cartagena to order that the City needed to proceed to final approval of the Special Plan for the Conservation of Historic Site Cartagena Sandstone Quarry, a necessary step to move on to develop actions conservation and recovery included in the Plan.

The Association purchased 10 years ago a significant portion (2.3 ha) of the Historic Site of Sandstone Quarry Roman Cartagena, with the aim of launching a project called Atabaire, which had as its objective the development of conservation actions and archaeological and environmental recovery in collaboration with different agencies and administrations, and the overall enhancement of the Historic Site for a controlled educational and tourist use.

Highlights the work developed in collaboration with the Directorate General of Heritage of the Autonomous Community and the same City of Cartagena, which allowed the job of archaeological survey, cleaning and debris removal, revegetation, ..., and even the drafting of the Plan Conservation of the Historic Site.

Among the actions necessary to advance the recovery of the Historic Site is the acquisition of land annexed to the ASEAN for debris removal, recovery, archaeological and architectural interpretation center building (the project is already developed and which was funded by the same municipality, etc.).

In fact, the City received a grant by the Heritage Department of the Autonomous Region for private land acquisition, purchase did not materialize although there was a prior commitment to buy between owners and City Hall.

ANSE property has suffered further acts of vandalism in the facilities of the quarries.

For some years now the theft of almost all of the small solar panels photovoltaic plant supplies power to the cave-houses (re-installed), litter, broken locks, etc.

In his day, both the city of Cartagena as the Autonomous Community to ANSE expressed their support and interest for the approval of the Plan of Conservation of Historic site allowed the recovery of the area, and that recovery would involve the incorporation of this area to tourist routes related to the recovery of historical heritage of the city.
