Restoration of facades

The remodeling works will begin with the pavilion 1, the largest of the set of the six that make up this space, with an area of ​​2,968 m ² distributed between the ground floor and two more heights.

Here it is planned to empty the building by removing partitions and compartments, restoring the facades (preserving their original materials, ornamentation, carpentry and holes), repairing the balustrades of the balconies and the roofs, as well as removing the sanitation downspouts and visible wiring.

For its part, and in Hall 2, whose ground floor has been reopened with the programming of a calendar of cultural activities, the planned works exceed one and a half million euros, intended to intervene in the 2,256 m ² of the ground floor , first and second.

In this space the facades are going to be restored, although here we will pay special attention to the moldings and azulejos tiles of Moorish inspiration.

It is planned to reinforce the structure, increasing its load capacity, increasing the thickness of the pillars and having archaeological supervision, both in the dismantling phase and in the demolitions.
